SKILL DEVELOPMENT FROM A BIRTH TO AGE FIVE
The brain grows faster in the first five years than at any other time in your child’s life.
Skill development during the first five years of your child’s life moves fast. It can be hard to anticipate what’s coming next. The brain grows rapidly in babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Language blooms and motor abilities advance. Thinking becomes more developed, and social and emotional skills allow more interaction with other people.

Sometimes it seems as if babies, toddlers and preschoolers develop a new skill overnight. But skills develop over time and are all connected.
Next session will talk on What Influences Skill Development

BUILD YOUR CHILD CONFIDENCE IN EARLY EDUCATION
Public or Private- Day or half day? Whatever it might be still parents has more option to decide where and when to take their child for early education. However this decision has never been easy to many parents worrying because that would be the first introduction their child shall have to an academic environment filled with new faces teachers and kids. Often this raises a lot of questions and apparently leads to worry for both child and parent.
The more comfortable you are about your decision and the more familiar the setting can be made for your child,
Majority believe that choosing the right school for your child he/she will flourish and Picking the wrong one may damage your child education.
Let us see a essential part a parent can observe during this period.
• Visiting your child's first preschool classroom
A few times before school starts can ease the entrance into unfamiliar territory. This offers the opportunity to not only meet your child's teacher and ask about routines and common activities, but to then introduce some of those routines and activities at home. While you're in the classroom, let your child explore and observe the class and choose whether to interact with other kids. The idea is to familiarize your child with the classroom and to let him or her get comfortable.
You can also ask how the teacher handles the first tear-filled days. How will the first week be structured to make the transition smooth for your child?
• Easing Your Child's Fears
Spend time talking with your child about preschool even before it starts. Before the first day, slowly introduce your child to activities that often take place in a classroom.
• Courage
Praise and encourage your child’s efforts and curiosity, knowing that from mistakes come learning and confidence. Criticism can discourage children from trying new things and lower self-confidence.

Your kids is ready to join kindergarten/Preschool and your struggling how to find a proper school to take the. Here are some of the tips that will help you find a proper school for your kid.
locations and travel time to your home.
Remember that you may have to provide transportation or have your child ride a bus to the school every weekday, twice per day. If the school is far, or inconvenient, you need to determine if the benefit outweighs the trouble.
each of the choices for kindergarten schools during an open house.
Most schools offer this just before enrollment time, and it's a chance to view the school. If a school you're interested in doesn't have an open house, ask the office to provide someone to take you on a guided tour. A school that won't allow you to see it operate should be avoided.
the current students and teachers closely.
Generally speaking, a good kindergarten will have happy, engaged staff and children who are energetic and participatory. If the mood of the school is upbeat, it's a good sign that the school is a viable choice. If it seems like no one wants to be there, your child shouldn't be either.
for a school that gives its children the opportunity to actively participate in learning.
The best options will allow the students to play while learning, with materials and each other. sure that the teachers have a varied curriculum to follow that includes pretend play, reading, painting, puzzles, and so on. Any school that expects children to sit stationary for a long time should be left out.
a kindergarten with a low child-to-teacher ratio.
This allows teachers to give attention to individual children several times each day. The hands-on time will likely be your child's favorite part of the day and will help nurture his or her love for learning by making them feel special.
at the walls of the room during your visit.
The artwork and writings of the children should be prominently displayed. This helps to give the children pride in their work, and kindergartens that don't should be avoided.
the teachers what the children learn every day.
Learning numbers, alphabet, beginning science such as nature exploration, frequent reading, and computers should all be included in daily activities of the school you select. There should also be a minimum of 1 hour for a recess-like break, outside whenever possible, which gives your child an opportunity to recharge.
the school's policy on helping children who are both ahead of the rest of the class and those who need a little extra help.
The children in the classroom will learn at a very different rate, and you will need to make sure that no matter where your child lands on the learning curve that he or she will be taken care of appropriately by the teachers.
to see if there is an after-school program your child can participate in, especially if you work full time.
schools offer this option, and you will need to review what types of activities are available and what the cost is. Look for schools that continue to engage the children with academics as opposed to simple babysitting.
about the future.
Ask what the kids are doing in more advanced grades as this will be a glimpse into your child's future. Make sure the older children are adequately challenged, that future classrooms are teaching appropriate math and reading skills, and that both children and teachers are still happy.
the school what its discipline policies are.
Make sure it has clear rules and regulations for students to follow, and that they are rules you can and will follow at home for consistency. Ask the teachers and the principal how the rules are enforced and what the penalties are for violating them.
