Choosing the Best Preschool in India: Are You Keeping These Factors In Mind?

by The Knowledge Bus Global Preschool Preschool

Parents always want the best for their children. Starting from their clothes to their higher education and all the choices that need to be made in their life, nothing less than the best can satisfy parents. So it is no wonder that they want only the best preschools to stand as the basic foundation of education for their children.

Preschools

Admitting your child to a preschool is the first step you are taking towards your child’s future and you wouldn’t want to mess up with that. Many parents neglect this notion and may join their kids to kindergarten directly. But giving an early quality education can be a great help to your kid’s performance in school and higher education. Preschools help children learn the basics of social skills as well as develop their cognitive and motor skills via various techniques and games. These elementary skills can be taught at home too. But a school environment provides a better ambiance and makes up for the time a parent can’t spend with their kids due to their tight work schedules.

But how do you choose the right preschool in India when there are dozens of them each with a differing label and a unique educational approach? Maybe you can consider things to help you with the selection process to make sure your child gets the best experience.

Curriculum and methodology

 There are many philosophies like the Montessori, Reggio Emilia and many more followed by different preschools. Some preschools even call themselves playschools as they extensively use games and playing to teach children. Even a common traditional preschool approach means different to different schools. So have an overview of the curriculum and methodology followed in the school to get a picture of how you child will be educated there. The number of play hours allowed, the extent of learning by doing methodology, sleep time are all few specifics that you need to know before admission. See if those details fit in your requirements and choose wisely.

Location and transport

The location and transport facilities must also be factored in the decision making process. It is better to have your child admitted in a nearby school than a highly reputed school that takes an hour to travel. A nearby location will also let you reach the place immediately in case of emergencies. You can also choose to admit your child in a school near to your office as the traveling time can be turned to interesting parent-child quality time.

Infrastructure and safety

The play areas and the classrooms must be designed to be safe for kids and the whole area must have the necessary safety precautions.

You should also give importance to the general infrastructure of the school. The activities and the environment should suit your child’s personality and must fall within the acceptable standards.

Student teacher interaction

The batch sizes must be small enough for a teacher to give special attention to each kid in the batch.

 Parent involvement

The degree of parent involvement regarding the number of visits allowed, the school’s policy on accepting ideas from parents can also be considered if you are an active parent seeking to help the school.

 School hours

Some preschools have only as short as 3 hours a day as working hours while some other may have more. Some preschools may have day care facilities too.

To select a preschool in India, you can start by getting recommendations from other parents and neighbors to get an idea about the nearby preschools. Know about the experiences of children and parents from schools with fine reputations. Whatever be the school you chose for your kid, do get a first-hand experience by visiting the school yourself and have a look at the infrastructure and other facilities provided and see if it works for you.
