Kindergarten

Here are tips to get your little ones ready for kindergarten!

1.       Boost the Mind: Reading skills and a base knowledge of words is the most important introductory skill you can teach your child. Reading Eggs is approved by educators everywhere and utilized by thousands of elementary schools all over the country. All aspects of reading comprehension are covered in this software including visual, auditory and kinesthetic. By using a variety of learning concepts done with interactive games, workbooks and music, your child will stimulate all areas of the brain while having fun at the same time.

2.       Boost Social-Life: Taking your kids to the park and surrounding them with many different types of people will go a long way at no cost to you. Plan a play date with your friends and family to start. Not only will your child get the ball rolling on their social life, but also make them accustomed to diverse groups of people.

3.       Boost Confidence: Encourage good behavior, teaching them it’s ok to make mistakes by engaging them in new activities with you. Playing together is learning together; it’s a process that shows them you’re involved—learning is fun and always happening around them. Making sure your child feels comfortable to ask questions sets them up for an enhanced learning experience in school and at home.

4.       Boost Awareness: Take a tour of the school so that your child feels more comfortable in their academic space, just as they would at home. They should know where each ‘go to spot’ is located just in case of an emergency. When a child knows their surroundings well, they will remain focused on their studies and settled into their environment. Every child should know where to go, whom to talk to and why.
