Nap Length and Schedule for Young Children
During pretend play, children learn about the power of language as they reenact stories and situations. As this learning process proceeds, their increased comfort levels grant them the confidence to begin experimenting with more challenging experiences. Additionally, as children engage in dramatic play, they start making sense of the world by actively experimenting with social and emotional roles. Children also build self-esteem as they discover they can pretend to be anything or anyone they want.
Although the first day of school can be thrilling and fun, it can be a little scary for your child too. Whether your child is eager or reluctant to go to school, we make sure that our teachers are ready with a smile to help with the transfer from your care to our classroom when arriving. Children need time to adjust to a new room, new teacher, and new routines.
Bedtime routines are extremely important. Nighttime can be a hectic time for any family but bedtime routines for kids are an essential part of the growing up process. Patterns can make or break a child’s sleeping success so it’s important that parents put some in place.
As parents and guardians, you are your child’s first teacher. Make sure your child is getting the most out of their literacy education by taking advantage of teachable moments at home!
As a parent, you have done your research and homework. You have chosen the best childcare to lay the groundwork for your child. All you want is the finest care and quality education. Your role as a parent in your child’s academics is an essential part of the learning process, because you are supporting the learning that happens in school at home. Family and parental involvement help extend teaching beyond the classroom; it fosters a positive experience for children and helps children perform better when they are in school.
When teaching your child to share, it is important to first realize that it is not productive to force your toddler to share. Instead, work to create an environment of sharing in order to encourage sharing. It is important to realize that to toddlers, a toy is so much more than a toy; it is a valued possession that must be protected. While teaching sharing, respect the normal level of possessiveness while encouraging the attitude of sharing with another.
