Preparing Your Child for the Next Big Step
As summer comes to a close, we start thinking about back to school and the transition that will occur for our older preschoolers: starting kindergarten! This is an exciting time for children and their families, but it is also one that comes with big changes in routines and often some fear and worry.
Parents often wonder: Is my child ready for kindergarten? What does this mean? How can you tell?
At LEEC, we work hard to prepare children for this big, exciting step. Children enrolled in our center have already started their educational journey, with the foundation being laid starting with our littlest day care learners.
The Lancaster Early Education Center Pre-K Approach to Lifelong Learning
In our Pre-K program, our goal is to educate children in fun, engaging ways that prepare them to be lifelong learners. A strong foundation and kindergarten readiness is first and foremost built upon a child’s social and emotional skills. We hear time and time again from our school district partners that a strong social-emotional foundation is key to success.
A child has a distinct advantage when entering kindergarten if they possess the following skills:
- They are familiar with the structure of a classroom.
- They know how to follow directions from adults other than their parents.
- They can successfully navigate interactions with peers.
