First,
consider the goal of a good kindergarten program. Why do most children attend,
even though it is not mandated in many states? Kindergarten provides your child
with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional,
problem-solving, and study skills that he will use throughout his schooling.
• The development of self-esteem is one of
the important goals of kindergarten. This is the process of helping your child
feel good about who she is and confident in her ability to tackle the
challenges of learning.
• Kindergarten teaches cooperation: the
ability to work, learn, and get along with others. A year in kindergarten
provides your child with the opportunity to learn patience, as well as the
ability to take turns, share, and listen to others — all skills that he will
use throughout his school years.
• Most children are naturally curious, but
some do not know how to focus or use this curiosity. Kindergarten is a time for
sparking and directing your child’s curiosity and natural love of learning.
