Believe it or not, back to school time is just around the corner! This time of year parents start weighing their options for what type of program is best for their soon-to- be preschool or Pre-K child. There are many benefits to these early learning programs, and how they can prepare your child for Kindergarten.
Enrolling in a preschool program will provide your child with an opportunity for growth. They will learn to share, follow instructions, and be provided with a foundation for learning. Preschools also provide a structured learning environment that will balance fun and learning preparing your child for important skills needed before entering Kindergarten. Children will develop important social and emotional skills through interaction with other young children. They will learn to make friends and play well with others.
Pre-K is also an integral program to prepare your child for Kindergarten. In addition to the skills learned in preschool, children will have more exposure to reading, math, and writing skills. HoneyTree Early Learning Centers suggests that among some of the skills children entering Kindergarten should have include: being able to identify and write letters of the alphabet, count to ten, listen to a short story, identify shapes and colors, and have some knowledge of sight words such as I, can, we, see.
HoneyTree Early Learning Centers has both preschool and Pre-K programs with 12 locations throughout the Roanoke Valley. Their preschool uses a curriculum called Pinnacle. This program blends seven learning centers: science and sensory, drama and dramatic play, math and manipulatives, and creative arts in this strategic developmental stage.
