Why a playschool is better than a
normal school ?
Top 8 Benefits of playschool
|
|
Kids are
very tender when
they first start attending school.
They have to be dealt with much love and care when compared to other
children.
They need personal attention and the interaction with their parents is
very
crucial. Kids have to be made comfortable in the new environment which
needs a
lot of patience. There are many reasons why a playschool should be
preferred to
a normal school. Here are a few to name.
|
1) The student to teacher ratio
in playschools is usually
less when compared to normal schools. This means a kid in a playschool
gets
more attention and care. This is one of the most important benefit of a
playschool.
2) As kids are new to school
their timings of rest change a
lot. They now have to wake up early and have to be awake for long
hours. So,
playschools make a provision for their sleep. They have mattresses laid
in a
room to facilitate their resting period.
3) Lot
of care is to be
taken regarding the safety of toddlers. They should be well protected
from
sharp objects and other heavy loads. All the things designed for a
preschool are
made by keeping child safety in mind.
4) Teaching toddlers is very
different from teaching other
children. Teachers have to be more focused and should have lots of
patience.
Faculty in playschools is specially trained for dealing with children
of this
age group. They try to understand the mindset of kids and explain
things in a
friendly manner. This is one of the main benefit of playschool.
5) Education in playschools is
much more fun and interactive
than in normal schools. Many playschools have specially crafted
curriculum.
Knowing things is made more fun and creative. Rhymes CDs are played and
there
are many learning toys like blocks, clay making, and puzzles available
for
children which make learning entertaining and a visual treat.
6) Infrastructure in
playschools is made colorful and attractive.
Pictures of Disney characters, birds and animals are painted on walls
of the
school building as well as class rooms. The furniture used in many
playschools is
very ergonomic and specially designed for toddlers. These things are
eye-catching for kids. Also other things like slide, see-saw, swimming
pool
etc., are made available for children of this age group. Kids enjoy
playing
these under the supervision of assistants. In normal schools, these
things are
available for much elder kids. This is also an advantage of playschool.
7) In
playschools, birthdays
of children are celebrated by singing songs and cutting cake. Many
festivals
are celebrated and also children are made to understand the
significance of
important days like friendship day, teachers’ day, independence day
etc.
8) As the children are very
small, the playschools take care
of potty training and cultivating good eating habits for the kid. This
is not
possible in normal schools. This is another advantage of playschools
over normal
school.
As seen above, the benefits of
playschools over normal
schools make children love a playschool more than an ordinary school
with kids
of all age groups.
