“You never know your parents until you become one yourself,” this saying deeply resonates with those who are and have been parents and teachers. Managing the number of children in preschool is not just about taking attendance and recording; it’s an art that requires dedication, meticulousness, and a loving heart for children. From my early days in this profession, I’ve understood that each child is a unique individual, a seedling that needs nurturing and care. Preschool tuition fee increase announcement is also a concern for many parents.
The Importance of Managing Class Size
Managing the number of children in preschool is extremely important, directly impacting the quality of care and education. It helps ensure the safety of the children, preventing cases of children getting lost or misplaced. At the same time, knowing the number of children helps teachers allocate time and effort reasonably, ensuring each child receives proper attention and care. There’s a story about a preschool teacher in Hanoi who, due to an overloaded class size, didn’t promptly notice a child having an allergic reaction to food. Fortunately, the child received timely emergency care. Stories like these remind us of the importance of managing class size.
Effective Methods for Managing Class Size
There are many methods for managing class size in preschools. From traditional methods like record-keeping and roll call at the beginning of the day to applying technology like using management software. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, an early childhood education expert with over 30 years of experience, any method is good, the important thing is to apply it correctly and appropriately to the conditions of each school. Ms. Lan has a very good book on good preschool math lesson plans, which is very useful for preschool teachers.
Challenges in Managing Class Size
Despite many supporting methods, managing class size in preschool still faces many challenges, especially during peak hours such as child drop-off and pick-up times. Many parents are late for pick-up, making it more difficult to control the number of children. Moreover, young children are often active and love to run around, so ensuring that all children are within the teacher’s control is not a simple task.
Solutions to Challenges
To overcome these challenges, close coordination between the school and families is needed. Schools need to develop clear child drop-off and pick-up procedures and increase staff during peak hours. On the family side, parents need to pick up children on time and promptly inform the school if there are any changes. Folk wisdom says, “children are a gift from heaven,” so caring for and raising children is the responsibility not only of the family but also of the community. Ly Thai To 2 Preschool is a prime example of applying technology to manage class size.
