Known for Excellence
Many families use word-of-mouth to narrow down their search for a great nursery or preschool program. It’s a good idea to start by asking trusted friends about their positive experiences. You might also want to look into social media communities for families with small children.
- Consider the following questions:
- Are the instructors knowledgeable and caring?
- What channels does the school use to connect with parents?
- Is the program cantered on games, academics, or a combination of both?
- Is your youngster excited to go to school?
- Do they talk about what they’ve learnt in school?
In what ways does the program go above and beyond? Is there, among other things, access to languages, outdoor play spaces, natural education, art, music, science, and a library? These are all found at a top international high school in Bangkok, with a K-12 program so your child won’t need to change schools.
A place of comfort
Because your child will be spending a large amount of their time at the chosen school it is most important that they will feel comfortable, that the environment that they will be learning in is one that puts them at ease.
The best learning environments tend to be those with a mixture of things to do and see, the classrooms must be inviting and there should be a safe, outdoor space for them to play and develop exploration skills.
Passion
There is something about passion that you simply cannot buy or ‘create’, however, it is one of the most valuable assets that you should look for when looking at various schools. Both the school and the teacher or, teachers need to be passionate about what they do or, what is the point? Some attributes to look at for are;
- Enthusiasm
- Creativity \flexibility
- Great communication skills and a sense of humour
- Experience and commitment
- A friendly demeanor
Pro-active
The main objective of an early learning program should be to encourage your child to learn by doing, whilst academic study is important, at this stage of their lives they should be involved in more pro-active activities in order to keep them engaged.
