Affordable Preschools - Characteristics Of A Good Kindergarten

Preschool education has been pegged as a foundation to successful education and even success in adult life. But not all preschools are created equal, not even the most expensive ones. Here are characteristics and features a good preschool should have:

* Clean and secure location. This is a non-negotiable for pre schools in Dubai. We are talking about kids younger than six years old who will be regularly attending classes. It is crucial that even on the way to school they feel secure. No health and safety hazards should be anywhere near the school. The A good preschool should not only attend to the mental well-being of a child but also his or her physical well-being. Kids must be able to associate positive feelings and images with the school.

* Complete and safe facilities. Setting up a room won't be enough if we want quality public nursery schools. There are basic facilities kids need round the clock and facilities that are required to keep the school kid-friendly and hazard-free. Simply put, a preschool must have a toilet room, a sanitary area for eating, a separate area for trash, a clinic or medicine cabinet, a no-slip flooring and cabinets for toys and other materials. Furniture and any equipment must have no sharp edges. Electric outlets must have covers and anything else that pose harm to kids should be kept out of their reach and eyesight.

* Feel-good atmosphere. A preschool should have an atmosphere welcoming to young children. It should not seem boring, rigorous or threatening. The classrooms should be well-ventilated and well-lit. Positive and colorful images and designs should be visible for kids. Staff and teachers should be helpful, friendly and accommodating. Kids must be able to see that they are going to have fun in class and that the school is a place where they can both play and learn.

* Holistic approach and curriculum. The Dubai nursery school must not only prepare a child intellectually for entrance into the big school. It must also help children develop their other aspects. Preschool cannot be too focused on academic subjects. It must also address the development of social skills to prepare kids for a bigger group or class. As early as preschool, good qualities and values like self-confidence and love of country can already be introduced. Creativity and self-expression should also be a priority in the curriculum, keeping kids motivated and interested in schooling.

* Physical activity. You heard it right! A good preschool is not afraid to get physical. Kids must have the opportunity-everyday-to move about and play, whether indoors or outdoors. This helps them practice their motor and other physical skills.

* Language-sensitive, language-rich. Since kids will learn more about language-and learn a new one, at that-in preschool, they must be as exposed to it as possible. Whether the new language is Filipino or English, there should be materials available everywhere. Posters on the walls, labeled objects and storybooks should be staples in class. On the other hand, the preschool must also be sensitive to the community's mother tongue. Many countries have multi-lingual education, and preschools must care not to ban children from using their mother tongue. Moreover, teachers should not hesitate to use the mother tongue in explaining and teaching.

A New Organization Of School Time

Today most of the country with a school already offer extra-curricular activities within the framework of a territorial education project, which represents a maximum of students enrolled in nursery schools in Dubai.

The nursery school welcomes children from three to five years of age for teaching mainly based on social integration, personality structuring, and basic cultural acquisitions. Training objectives are translated into behavioral terms, actions and eyfs curriculum. Educational situations enable these objectives to be realized, in a context where the acquisition of know-how is favored.

The child-reader training incorporates a behavioral dimension and a pre-reading approach. Learning related to this approach and verbal language currently dominate the concerns of teachers, National Inspectors of Education and parents. The pre-reading is approached by the typological analysis of proposed texts. The need for language coding is gradually revealed, and children realize the importance of memorizing texts on paper, as well as drawings and graphics. In the large section, the pupils are also led to produce their own writings which allow the control of the evolution of their manual skill and their lateralization.

Identifying and knowing why different writings (books, magazines, newspapers, dictionaries, posters, advertisements, maps, documentary writings, letters) are used:

Recognize the organization of a page; Using a library (learning about first rankings); Participate in the development of a classroom library; Identify certain properties of objects in order to compare them, sort them, classify them, order them.

The book holds a privileged place in preschool activity, and is, in turn, a reference, memory, and sometimes even a collective production of children. The development of a central library room was one of the important elements of the structure set up from the beginning.

Early attendance at a library-document center and books in the classroom learns how to use resources. Through the intermediary of the teacher, the child gradually recognizes the supports, the forms and the functions of the writing (activities of communication and of spoken and written expression).

Since then, children have regularly borrowed books that become objects of effective. They are transported in specially made covers for this purpose. The pupils of kindergarten should not be considered as non-readers, but rather as pre-readers of texts. In order to encourage children's autonomy in managing the library while empowering them, the idea came to computerize loan management by making the software accessible to children. There were many difficulties to circumvent. New technologies can today provide solutions to the problems of communication between a child of 3 to 5 years and a computer machine. In fact, Child does not yet know how to interpret a written instruction, it includes an oral instruction and can, therefore, answer it verbally or by an action. He also knows how to "read" an image for purposes of comparison, description, control. A new circulation of child-machine information can be observed.

Pre School institutions have an altogether different teaching approach. Given that it is the primary step rock it requires utmost persistence and also understanding. Given that, we all have actually been to pre-schools, all of us develop a propensity to dislike institutions. Educators here, have to be much more understanding, loving, caring and patient.
