Is your preschooler happy at school?
This article is to remind parents to notice what is going on in your child’s classroom. It is NOT about harassing or bashing your child’s teacher! I do not think parents realize that is many instances, teachers do NOT have a choice in what is going on in the classroom. With observations and money goals putting so much pressure on teachers to somehow manage to make a decent living, the name of the game is to look at outcomes as not well being of the students in their care. Help your teacher to make the shift or move your child - you are putting the pressure in the wrong place if you are simply hate mailing your teacher.
Here’s 5 more things to look for in your child’s classroom:
1. Art and music: Preschoolers need opportunities for creative expression, such as drawing, painting, singing, and dancing, as it helps them develop their imagination and fine motor skills.
2. Positive relationships: Preschoolers thrive in environments where they feel safe and loved, and where they can form positive relationships with adults and peers.
3. Exploration of different cultures: Preschoolers need exposure to diverse cultures and experiences, as it helps them develop empathy, curiosity, and understanding of the world around them.
4. Mindfulness and relaxation: Preschoolers need opportunities to practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help them regulate their emotions and reduce stress.
5. Individualized learning: Preschoolers have different learning styles and paces, so it's important to provide them with individualized learning opportunities that cater to their unique needs and interests.
