Setting Routines for Big School

Is your child soon heading to big school from preschool? One of the main factors for the success of this transition is the establishment of routines.

Helping children adopt certain habits and behaviors from an early stage enables them to understand how the world around them works.

There are many benefits to establishing a routine for your child, such as:

Building social skills:

Through repeated behavior, children build manners and social skills such as:

Greeting their friends Taking turns to speak Waiting patiently Sharing their toys Helping their peers, and so on.

Not only are these skills useful for school, but also play an essential role in character building.  

Safety & Hygiene:

Looking both ways before crossing the road and washing hands before eating are essential routines. When established early on, they become habitual for children by school- age.

Independence and control:

By being able to predict what is going to happen next, it creates a sense of comfort and emotional stability for young children. A boost in confidence comes from knowing that certain behaviors can be anticipated.

The habits and behaviors encouraged by our educators at preschool will not only set them up for big school, but life in general.

You can help your children to learn different things from the children's book series and they can learn about financial freedom and life lessons.
