Understanding your child and the type of care that will best suit their needs is what we at Parkland Children’s Academy believe to be the most crucial aspect of choosing the right Parkland preschool. Below are some guidelines on using what you already know about your kid to help select the right Parkland preschool for your family.
What is your kid’s personal style – adaptable, cautious or spirited?
If your child is good with transitions and approaches new people and situations easily then he or she is adaptable and is best suited to a Parkland preschool where they can enjoy new experiences and challenges. If your child is thoughtful and struggles with transition then they are cautious and would be best suited to a Parkland preschool that will gently accommodate their needs. If your child has strong emotions and needs then he or she is spirited and would thrive in a Parkland preschool with caregivers who are sensitive to and will understand your child’s needs.
Is your child a high or low reactor?
High reactors don’t hold back on communicating their feelings while low reactors play quietly, fuss very little and enjoy their naptime. At Parklands Children’s Academy our caregivers are trained to accommodate both high and low reactors by encouraging children to express their emotions in a way that is appropriate to themselves as well as their class mates.
Does your child have a high or low activity level?
Children with high activity levels are always on the go and need a safe play and exploration area in a Parkland preschool. Children with a low activity level prefer to sit quietly and take in their surroundings at their own pace. Parkland Children’s Academy offers a safe yet stimulating environment that provides for the needs of both high and low activity children.
How social is your child?
Very social children are happiest when interacting with others while less social children are shy and need time to warm up to others. Parklands Children academy is a Parkland preschool that accommodates both high and low social kids by offering many opportunities for group play thus allows for children to interact at their own social pace.
Finally on our parent’s guide to preschool are the issues of health and safety and unique individual needs. It is important to ask yourself what are your child’s unique needs and what are the health and safety issues to consider in a Parkland preschool? A Parkland preschool such as Parkland Children’s Academy will hold the health and safety of your child as one of their top priorities while furthermore making sure that your child’s special needs are being taken care of.
