The Best Way to Teach Sharing
The word “sharing” doesn’t usually conjure up images of fun and happy play in the minds of preschoolers’ parents. More often, sharing means protests of “Mine!” and guaranteed hurt feelings. But sharing doesn’t have to be dreaded.
Seven Ways Our Programs Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten
Many families with young children believe that preparing children for school means that children have to know their colors, shapes, letters and numbers. While it is essential that children have active experiences with these concepts, research tells us there are other things that are more important predictors of school success.
Top Strategies To Help Children Learn
Neurological research tells us that human beings learn best (take in information, remember it and recall it later) when our emotions are involved at a heightened level. This happens when we are invested in, or care about, what we are doing. Our emotions are heightened when we actively play, sing, dance, make music, pretend, explore, discover, experiment, invent, build, and when we express ourselves creatively about the subjects that are important in our hearts and minds.
Strategies for Successful Learning Part Two: Enable Children to Lead Lessons
Our teachers draw from a wealth of lesson plans that are designed to help children understand increasingly complex concepts and inspire them to seek out new challenges. However, we also approach teaching as an art form, creating amazing masterpieces of learning in which children lead, or take us where they need to go.
Turn Tech Time into Kindergarten Prep Time
Turn your keyboard into a game. Have a race with your child to see who can tap each letter of the alphabet first. Play nice, now! Be sure to lead your child to success. Hover your pointer finger over the next letter as if you’re still looking for the key. Oh, where is that silly B hiding? Your child’s eye will go to where your finger is. Oh! You got it before me! Not only does this build confidence, you’ll get some great giggles along the way.
