Finding a Quality Preschool for Toddlers

Finding a quality preschool for children can be quite challenging. There are several benefits to sending toddlers to a preschool rather than a daycare center. A quality preschool program helps children to develop their self identity. It also helps toddlers to discover and develop their positive attitudes toward learning. Preschools provide interesting learning tools and help the toddlers to gain self confidence.

They also help children to understand their capability to remember and build on things they have learned.  Preschools also help children to develop their creative expressions through music, art and drama and by using their unique self expressions.

The most important factor in selecting a quality preschool is to make sure that it provides a safe and secure learning space for the children. It should be comfortable and provide areas where toddlers can enjoy activities without being easily distracted. It should have a staff that makes children feel comfortable and nurtured. The teachers and staff should be very caring, responsive and sensitive to the requests and needs of the children. They should get involved with the children and help them accomplish projects, solve problems and give adequate space and time for indoor and outdoor activities.

The location of the preschool is also an important factor that parents need to take into consideration. Most parents prefer to send their children to a preschool which is near to their home or workplace. As the child needs to be picked up or dropped by their parents, the preschool selected should be located nearby.

The amount of fees charged may also vary between different preschools. Some preschools may be subsidized by the state government for providing education to children who come from low- income families. Most charge monthly fees. It is also important to verify whether the preschool follows well defined curriculum. There may be some preschools that follow the same curriculum as daycare centers, while others may be preparing the children for kindergarten.

Why our Parents Love ACA:

Click Here to Read what some of our parents have to say about ACA.
“"Since Elena started going to ACA, first thing every morning she asks me to please dress her as she wants to go to school. When we pick her up, she is always happy; it takes her a while to get to the car. She loves when Mrs. Sandra does her hair, cannot stop asking her Daddy if he likes the hair-do Mrs. Sandra did for her.

We are thrilled with how much she has learnt there, both academically and emotionally. We do not speak English with Elena at home. And since she joined ACA, her English has improved dramatically. She now knows how to count very well and she responds very well to people addressing her in English. In addition, she is a more patient and respectful playmate with her little sister.

Aaya, our 20-month-old, goes there occasionally. Every day when we take Elena to school, it is hard to make her understand that she cannot stay. It has become a ritual for her to go get her treat – a yummy cheese cracker. She knows exactly where Mrs. Pat keeps them ;o)!

We are very pleased that both of our girls feel happy and loved in their School"
