We all want the best for our children when it comes to their education; and for them to be successful, the first step is choosing the right preschool in Pomona, CA. And to help you out, here are some important points. From your child’s readiness to what aspects to look for when visiting a preschool, we have covered all relevant topics in this article.
Is your child ready? Preschools generally take in children between the ages of 3 to 4, but preschools will admit students younger than that. But each child is ready in his or her own time, though there are common parameters to judge it, all of them may not apply to your child. The basic ones are: • • • • • •
Being potty trained Able to follow simple instruction The speech development is normal to his or her age Can handle transition Can handle being separated from the parent Can interact with other children
When to look for school The next important point to take care of is when to start looking for a preschool. The Preschool year typically starts in January, so you should start looking for a good one from September of the previous year. It doesn’t matter if your child is not at the age the school requires their students to be as long as he or she will be of that age when school starts in January. So, start doing school visits (or virtual tours if the schools are not allowing in-house visits due to COVID restrictions) so that you can find one suitable to your needs. Inquire what they need from the children (like being able to tell when they want to go to the bathroom, etc.) so that you can train your child in them before school starts.
Make a list of schools You will find many kinds of preschools starting from kindergarten to Montessori in Pomona, CA schools. Each school will have its own teaching style and curriculum. So, you should make a list of schools that fit your requirement. You can ask your friends, relatives, and neighbors if they have children about the same age as yours. If your child has specific medical needs, then it is best to ask your child’s pediatrician or parents of children with similar conditions as your son for their reference. Your child’s favorite playground is a great area to get tips on schools that will make up your list.
What to look at when selecting a preschool Now that you have a list, it is time to trim that list. Focus on those schools whose teaching philosophy and school motto resonate with the belief you want your child to have. Then look for schools that have a low teacher to students ratio and the classroom. Other things to note are how many toys and games are in the classroom and if they are cleaned well. It should also be placed in such a way a child can reach it easily. If there is an outside play area, make sure it is secure and that teachers are trained in first aid. Other things to look for is how far from the school is from your home and how long they keep their children. So, these are some of the essential things you need to know to find the right preschool for your child.
