CHOOSING YOUR
CHILD'S PLAY SCHOOL
The day you have been
waiting for has finally come! Your child is now
ready for school. A play school necessary sets
the foundation for your child's future.
This is the first time where he finds for
himself in a new place, meets new people and
learns as well interacts with adults and
children. How do you know if you have made the
right choice?
Remember, school is not
only for learning but to have fun as well.
Here are a few guidelines for choosing
your child's play school.
School
is run, not only for a business purpose but also
with lots of love and
care. Your child should be surrounded by a
healthy atmosphere with lots of love and
understanding. He should not be pressurised at
an early stage in life. He should be encouraged to give his best
without the pressure of
excelling.
The staff should be
experienced,
dedicated and English
speaking. Your child needs a good language model
to copy.
Security-
the staff should be responsible in taking care
of each child.
The school should not only
teach but engage the children in other
activities as well.
Art
work-painting, pasting,
colouring.
Toy
playing
Singing/ dancing
Games
Regular
outings/ picnics
The play area should be large enough
with sufficient swings, slides,
see-saws etc.
Ratio of Teacher:Child should not be
very large. The child needs to interact on
a one-to-one basis with the teacher.
Toilets should be clean.
Maids should be at hand to take the
child to the toilet whenever required.
Clean drinking water should
be available for your child.
Transport facilities should
be available to and from the house. The
closer to home the school, the better, as he is
still too small to travel long distances
everyday. Check out your neighbourhood schools
first.
