Pukekohe Early Childhood

Treetops know that for many children Pukekohe early childhood, preschool, and kindergarten is the first contact outside of the family with other children. All the lessons about sharing and being nice that Mom and Dad have tried so hard to teach don’t really come into play until they are forced to interact with other kids their own age. When playing on the playground or in classroom children are forced to relearn their social skills in an environment of peers not adults who will give in to tantrums and sweet smiles. Because of this, a playground can be the perfect place to reinforce lessons taught at home and in school regarding social niceties. It can also be an important place as it teaches lessons that may not be learned anywhere else. Through experiences such as standing in line for the slide, waiting to use the swings, playing together with toys, and even waiting to talk to teacher, children are able to learn about sharing, patience, and taking turns. Although they may have been taught to share before, having to practice it when playing with another child will teach the lesson much better than listening to Mom repeat it at home. 

Taking turns on the swing or slide helps children see that the world doesn’t revolve entirely around them in Pukekohe early childhood. Children will quickly learn for themselves that others will not want to play with them if they are not kind. Although most children do not have the vocabulary to express these concepts, kindness and niceness are definitely recognized during playtime, and children are naturally drawn to those kids who are nice to everyone. A quick check from the adult in charge usually will also help a mean or selfish child understand how to play nice, not just why. Occasionally, however, there is more involved than angels playing. Sometimes playgrounds have bullies or manipulative children who can hurt others. Playgrounds are a great place to learn to stand up for oneself. 

A child is able to stand their ground and explain they don’t like the actions of another, but can still get an adult involved if necessary there should always be an adult around playgrounds for safeties sake. Playgrounds also provide a safe place to learn about how to be social. Children’s conversations can take place, helping communication skills to grow in Pukekohe early childhood. Moral and ethical lessons can be taught both at the time and afterwards in discussion. This scenario wouldn’t have presented itself without the playground scene. Apart from these reasons, there are many other benefits of social play on playgrounds, whether at daycares, schools, or parks. Many of these benefits are physical. A child who plays at a playground will quickly learn how he fits into space, the limits and wonders of his own body, and to love being active and fit. These lessons will continue with him throughout his life, and will help him in the years to come. Playgrounds are important to a growing child so that he can grow not only physically, but socially as well.

In addition, when parent’s model behavior that shows education is important, it will have a positive impact on them. Children need to feel that school is an important part of their family life. You're a teacher but where do you start? Quite simply just ask parents to get involved. Sometimes it isn't a matter of parents not wanting to be involved it's a matter of them not knowing how to start. When you have a list of tasks to accomplish for your classroom, don't assume you must do it all yourself. There are parents who would be happy to help, if they were just asked. Identify the talents, strengths and interests of parents. Those skills in Pukekohe early childhood could be extremely helpful to the classroom. Send a list home of what opportunities your school has for parents and ask them which ones they are interested in helping with. Jobs could include coordinating fundraisers, managing volunteers, working as paraprofessionals or being a community advocate for their school. 

If a parent is resistant to becoming more involved, they need to know this: Research has consistently shown that students whose parents are regularly involved in their child's education will have better school attendance, improved grades and will demonstrate a higher level of motivation and self-esteem than kids whose parents aren't involved. In addition, parents will be less likely to have to deal with their child dropping out of school, getting suspended, using drugs and alcohol or being violent. That's convincing evidence. Become a partner with parents, and make them feel p art of the team. Some parents feel it is a teacher's job to teach and don't know how they, as parents, can help. Botany Kindergarten offer parents a guideline of everything they can do to support their child's education at home. This might include suggestions for creating an effective study environment for their child or how they can help their child study. Encourage parents to go on field trips or watch educational programs with their child, which will reinforce your teaching efforts from home. 

While many parents get involved with school when their child first enters Pukekohe early childhood, parental involvement drops sharply with each passing grade level. Find ways to keep parents involved as their child progresses through school. If possible, have a space designated at school that serves as a parent room to encourage continued involvement at school. Don't pre-judge who you think will, or won't, want to become involved. Even though a child might come from a single-parent or low-income home, it doesn't mean that parent isn't just as concerned about their child's education as others are. Give these parents the same chance to participate in their child's education as you would middle-class or two-parent families.
