Preschool Prep Guide: Parent FAQs & Tips

“Honey, what grade are you in?” “Preschool, Mom!” – A familiar conversation between parents and their young children when it comes to school. So, how can parents best prepare their children for a completely new environment? Let “TUỔI THƠ” answer common questions from preschool parents, helping children confidently integrate into school life!

Choosing the Right Preschool:

“Which preschool can my child attend?” – The first question many parents ask. Choosing a preschool is a crucial step, directly impacting a child’s overall development.

According to early childhood education expert, Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang, “Choosing a preschool should be based on criteria such as: curriculum, facilities, teaching staff, and management style.”

To help parents gain a comprehensive overview of suitable preschools, “TUỔI THƠ” introduces some key criteria:

Preschool Selection Criteria:

Curriculum: Prioritize preschools that implement a curriculum suitable for your child’s age, focusing on developing life skills, language, motor skills, and creativity.
Facilities: The school should have adequate equipment, spacious and airy classrooms, a safe playground, and ensure food safety and hygiene.
Teaching Staff: Teachers should be qualified, dedicated, experienced, loving towards children, and know how to effectively impart knowledge and skills.
Management Style: The school should have a transparent management system, creating a safe and healthy environment for children.

Example: Baby An, 4 years old, is very active and loves to explore. An’s family chose a preschool with a large playground, many outdoor games, and a focus on developing creativity, helping An play, learn, and develop comprehensively.

Preparing Your Child for Preschool:

“How can I help my child adapt to a new environment?” – This is a question that worries many parents. Gradually familiarizing your child with the new environment will help them feel more confident when going to school.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Nhung, a preschool teacher with many years of experience, “Parents should prepare their children both psychologically and practically before they start school.”

What Should Parents Do?

Prepare your child psychologically: Talk to your child about preschool in a positive and cheerful way, emphasizing the interesting things they will experience at school.
Develop your child’s self-reliance skills: Teach your child to eat, dress, play, and take care of personal hygiene independently.
Create opportunities for your child to interact with the preschool environment: Take your child to visit the school, let them get to know friends and teachers.
Always maintain a positive attitude: Do not appear worried or scared in front of your child; parents are role models for children to learn from.

Example: Baby Minh, 3 years old, is always afraid of being away from her mother. To help Minh adapt to preschool, Minh’s mother took her to visit the school, play with classmates, showed her pictures of the school, and introduced her to the teacher and fun games at school. Minh gradually became interested in the new environment and was no longer afraid of going to school.

Common Questions from Preschool Parents:

“My child cries a lot when going to school, what should I do?” “My child is a late talker, will it affect their learning?” “Should I give my child extra classes while they are in preschool?”

These questions reflect parents’ concern for their children. “TUỔI THƠ” will answer these questions in future articles.
