You know the preschool years matter..

90% of a child's brain growth happens before age 6. During this time, over one million new neural connections are made every second! It's no wonder early experiences have a lasting impact on a child's: - Learning - Behaviour - and Health No pressure, right!? 😅 Finding clear answers to what, when, and how to teach preschoolers is frustrating, to say the least. Let's face it. Parents of preschoolers often get the short end of the stick. So what exactly are the 4 Fundamental Preschool Skills taught in Play into Kindergarten Readiness? SKILL #1: LITERACY Early introductions to literacy are crucial. Did you know that phonological awareness is the strongest predictor of early reading success? Or that introducing letters and sounds in a specific order allows reading to flow naturally? Hint: It doesn't start with ABC! When it's time to introduce those letters and sounds, your child will be ready for reading success. SKILL #2: NUMERACY Numeracy is more than numbers. It's also sorting, building, comparing, measuring, patterning, exploring shapes... The 6 areas of math readiness are critical, as all future math skills build on them. Understanding how numbers fit and work together is the foundation for later multiplication, division, fractions, and more. SKILL #3: FINE & GROSS MOTOR Fine and gross motor skills go hand-in-hand. Did you know crossing the midline aids in the development of fine motor skills like handwriting, encourages concentration, and can even make it easier to read? Did you know crossing the midline aids in the development of fine motor skills like handwriting, encourages concentration, and can even make it easier to read? A whole-body approach ensures your child has opportunities to fully develop both fine and gross motor skills... ...because they really do go hand-in-hand! SKILL #4: SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL Social and emotional skills for happy humans. Your child's social and emotional development directly influences self-confidence, empathy, problem-solving, and communication skills. Think you can't nurture social and emotional development at home? Think again! Strong social and emotional skills will support your child for a lifetime. for staff training, Preschool setup and educational resources or supplies 08035995356
