There are different ways to filter a good Dubai pre-school
out of the many that you visit. The most trusted would be your own
instincts and what’s best for your child. Good instincts should be what
finally decides on one nursery, but here are 10 signs you should look
for when scouting for a nursery for your little one.
-
You notice that the children in a classroom are involved in structured play under the guidance of the class teacher. If you can tell that the children are in fact paying attention and not running around aimlessly, then you are sure your son or daughter is going to have fun while learning.
-
Children are born curios and need to have many interesting toys and activity based supplies like crayons, building blocks, paintbrushes, clay and other fun and age appropriate games to keep them active. A well-developed nursery program for pre-school children will provide plenty material to play with.
-
Activity based learning frameworks are good and the most productive in teaching young children and toddlers. If you see children smiling while they’re singing along to a nursery rhyme, and waiting their turn outside in the garden playing hop-scotch, it’s a sign that children have plenty of space to run and around and socialize in.
-
Individualized attention by teachers is a good thing and is very important in making sure the children keep up with other. When all children are taught as one entity, it is difficult to notice those left behind. A classroom will have a minimum of two teachers to make sure all children receive undivided attention.
-
Creative and welcoming classrooms keep children creative and happy. You can usually judge the enthusiasm of a nursery by the effort taken to decorate and plan the interior of classrooms and play areas. Most good preschools will display children’s work and projects.
-
Letters and numbers are taught as part of their daily experiences and needs and not using worksheets and textbooks. Kids between the ages of 3 and 5 are not ready to read and write, and therefore will not be able to keep up with expectations.
-
Long break or recess Recess is important for children to explore and play, without restrictions. They are seen using this time to discuss things they learned a while before, comparing notes and telling stories amongst running around and burning off energy.
-
Teachers should be friendly and you can see this easily when they’re around children. If children run towards them with delight, you know they are accepted by the children and are easily approachable.
-
No set curriculum but a standard framework of activity and learning plans to allow all children the room they need to develop. A nursery in Dubai, catering to a multicultural society should understand that children who come from different countries will have different backgrounds and knowledge and will therefore not learn at the same pace as they do not experience the same things every day.
-
You can truly know if a school is a good nursery school for your child, if you notice the enthusiasm in the children that attend. You will be able to see this for yourself when visiting a playschool in the morning hours. A friendly and educative nursery will have friendly staff, be willing to answer your questions, no matter how many they are, and would love to show you around and let you talk to other parents and children.
