Finding a quality preschool is quite a challenge that most parents face. Differentiating a quality preschool from a daycare center is also one of the main challenges that most parents face. A quality preschool would: â€Develop self-identity of the child * Develop a positive attitude of the child towards learning by experiencing success and by learning to deal with failure successfully * Teach the children skills and give them practice in resourceful problem-solving and its corresponding benefits * Make the students understand the unlimited potential of their own minds and their ability to build on what they have learned * Develop the child’s mind for appreciation of peers, adults and community * Help children develop creative expression through art, music, drama and their own unique forms of self-expression * Teach children about their physical self through the development of fine and gross motor skills. The main factors for choosing a quality preschools would be to consider whether the preschool provides safe spaces for the children, whether they are comfortable and engaged in what they are doing, not easily distracted or wandering aimlessly; children feels happy, not distressed, bored or crying; the teachers and other staff are caring, sensitive (not harsh), responsive to children’s needs and requests, and involved in what the children are doing by helping children solve problems, accomplish projects and learn; time and space for active outdoor and indoor play as well as quiet time. Parent Co-operative Preschools are run by the parents. In these schools there are various levels of participation available. You may choose to participate in the administration of the school by sitting on the board of directors or a committee. You can be in the class with your child once or twice a month. Or you can receive the newsletter and take advantage of evening social events with other parents. Research shows that parent involvement is a major factor in a child's success. The parents who start participating with their children at the preschool or daycare level, continue to do so through elementary and high school. Location: Do you want your child to attend a preschool near your home or workplace? At this age, your child will have to be picked up and dropped off by you or another designated adult, so location is important. Cost: The cost of preschool varies greatly between schools. There are preschools that have costs subsidized by the state for low income families, preschools that charge monthly tuition, and others that charge tuition annually. If you have a budget for preschool costs, this will help narrow your options. If you cannot afford preschool for your child but do not qualify for state subsidized preschools, find out if there are preschools that offer financial aid. Some preschools offer financial aid or have a list of scholarships or grants for preschool age children. Curriculum: It is important to know what your child will be learning in school. Find out from different preschools what their curriculum is. There are some preschools that are really just day care centers, that do not foster academic growth and then there are other preschools that focus on preparing your child for kindergarten. If it is important to you that your child will learn their alphabet, learn how to write and read, learn basic math skills, then find out what your child will learn at a certain preschool.
