In Pursuit of the Perfect Playschool
by Mother's Pride Preschool Love Blossoms HereLast night an unusual, yet vital
realisation dawned upon me, when my sleep was disrupted by a frantic phone call
from a friend, who was fretting about her child’s nursery admission. Half
asleep, I patiently listened to her weep, and mumble the names of a few pre schools in Noida, but did not make
much effort to console her.
That night I understood the dilemma
of countless helpless and hapless parents. Consumed by the pressure of
playschool admissions, she barely had any knowledge about early childhood care
and education to choose the best
playschool for the apple of her eyes.
Consequently, I felt the need of
writing about the topic to help parents like her, who are often confused and
frequently misled by the false promises and pomp and show of playschools in Noida.
Understanding Early
Childhood Education and Care
Early childhood education and care is
the education and care that is provided to a child from its birth till the age
of eight. It involves home stimulations and preschool education.
Objectives
Early childhood education and care is
aimed at achieving maximum intellectual, social and emotional development of a
child. It lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Changes and Challenges
Early childhood education has changed
today. Many kids come from alternate or fragmented families; some even carry
emotional or social baggage. Even the
teachers carry their baggage and biases to the classrooms. Both the teachers
and students are unfortunately part of a toxic environment. These factors impact the teaching learning
process, and create an achievement gap in a child’s learning and development.
This understanding is important for
parents to ensure a continuum of learning by choosing the right playschool for their child.
Childcare experts and pedagogues
firmly believe that a child does not suddenly become ‘great at eight’. Quality
education provided in playschools
plays a vital role in the academic success of a child.
For instance, preschools like Mother’s Pride located in Noida provide best early childhood education and quality care to
young learners. It is a playschool that uses play purposefully. Its curriculum
goes beyond alphabet, numbers and colours. The lessons
and activities are designed to encourage critical thinking, nurture imagination
and strengthen gross and fine motor skills.
Only a school that has the expertise
in the abovementioned area, and is equipped to face the challenges can provide
holistic education, bridge the achievement gap, and help children acquire
skills they need to pursue their dreams.
