Going to school for the first time is such a big event for a child, as well as for their family. The tears that we hear about at the school gate on the first day are real.

Like most parents I wanted my son’s experience of starting kindergarten to be a positive one. I wanted him to fit in with other children, to enjoy learning new things, to become confidently independent.

But seeing my son head off to school also came with certain sadness. He learned various things in the school eg. being on your best behaviour and learning, sitting and standing manners, to go to the toilet at set times, when it’s okay to eat, way talk with others and more.

The list goes on and on. Teachers advised me to follow a routine at home. There is already enough change happening for children as they start school: having a predictable environment at home gives them a sense of safety and security at school.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

My child’s school offers a stimulating and enriching kindergarten readiness curriculum in a warm, secure, and loving learning environment.

School develops a sense of excitement for learning in my child and help to feel successful and special in a school setting. School teachers cooperate very much and develop new skills like verbal and listening skills and stimulate child’s creativity.
