Selecting the Best Preschool Curriculum for Your Child

As your children get older, you need to start thinking about the best preschool curriculum for them. You should of course, select something that fits the particular educational requirements of your children as well as their learning styles and capabilities. As such, you need to research thoroughly about the schools and the curriculums available before reaching a decision. You can use the following points to help you while you are researching about the curriculums.

The Curriculum Structure

You should always consider the curriculum structure as it is very important for the educational success of your child in the first few years. Certain curriculums taught in schools are freer. They allow the children to choose their own activities for the day and help them complete those activities. Other programs tend to have a stricter structure. In such programs, teacher conducts the activities and sets up the schedule which has to be followed by the children. It is important to remember that some children tend to perform better in a free environment while other children fare better in a structured environment.

The Attention Given to Children

It is not possible for all schools to let their teachers give attention to each student personally. In some preschools, the teachers will become involved in all the activities that the children are performing and give their attention personally to the children. On the other hand, the absence of personal attention may allow the children freedom to learn on their own. You need to understand whether you child performs better in the presence of personal attention or in its absence before you go for any KG 1 admission in Dubai.

The Level of Interaction

You should consider how much interaction your child will have with the others in the class. Many preschools prefer to get the children involved in group activities. Other preschools tend to prefer individuality by letting the children do the work on their own.

Focus on Academics or Play Studies

Preschools tend to focus one or the other of these teaching methods. Some schools teach the children through academics where books are read along with discussions on topics. An alternate teaching method involves the children in games through which they learn.

You should always visit various preschools before opting for any KG 1 admission in Dubai. After all, you must ensure that your child will be safe, happy and has access to the best preschool curriculum at the school you have chosen for him or her.
