Importance of Early Childhood Education in Dubai

:Most parents have different views when it comes to Foundation Stage Nursery Dubai, especially preschool. Some of the perceptions that parents have on preschool education is that they feel that their children are too young to be in a structured environment,  preschool education is expensive, it's a trend rather than a necessity and an exclusive name for a day care.

However, research shows that  children who enrolled in early education programs benefit by receiving formal education before they start school. Children who are in preschool are found to be well behaved, are quick learners and have higher IQ scores when they start school as opposed to children who don't attend preschool and without any formal education.

Critics of the concept of Kindergarten in Dubai, claim that the difference between children receiving preschool education and  children not receiving formal education is visible only during first or second grade. They reiterate that children perform at the same level without preschool education. Another problem that was expressed is the affordability of preschool as they can have a hefty price tag which is not affordable, by all parents. Critics argue that children can receive formal education in other ways too, like day care and parents teaching their young children at home.  Even though, children in Day Care in Dubai can develop intellectually, they lack the approach, curriculum and verity that children have at preschool.

Most childhood educators claim that children of a preschool going age learn best when they are not pushed too hard, they have an opportunity to interact with their peers, and their parents and instructors treat them kindly. Children perform at their best and take a liking to preschool when the  activities are interesting and are held only for a few hours a day, they cannot spend long hours in preschool and away from their parents. Children attending preschool's in Dubai will not benefit from programs with inexperienced teachers and large classrooms.

Children who attend pre-school will benefit from the following, improved social skills, less or no need for special education instruction during subsequent school years, better grades, and enhanced attention spans. They also go on to have fewer behavioral problems when they start going to a mainstream school. Children with learning or other physical disabilities benefit immensely from preschool education as well. Also, children taught how to speak a second language during their early developmental years are also in a better position to learn new languages at a young age.

 No matter what the differences in opinion about preschool education, children benefit from receiving some type of education during their early developmental years. However, there is no 'one-size fits all' concept when it comes to teaching children, while some children can benefit from preschool, other children may, they benefit from receiving educational instruction from their parents or some others at Summer Camp Nursery Dubai. Therefore, parents must evaluate a child's unique personality and determine if preschool education is best suited for a child or not.

Water Safety Tips For Preschool Children

Children in Nursery Schools in Dubai love to play water and enjoy all water based learning activities. They love to splash, giggle, wiggle and learn the many benefits of water. There are a lot of benefits about children's aquatic joys. And sometimes, even a simple bucket of water or a faucet can keep them amused for hours. But, as children become more involved and adventuresome, they become less fearsome of large bodies of water, like pools and the sea, which can be a concern and a worrisome factor for parents due to the dangers of drowning.

Here are some helpful and useful water safety tips, that parents should adopt with their little water loving toddlers, both at home or at the Early Years Nursery in Dubai. 

• Life vests are a must around pools, lakes and large water sources and there should be no flexibility with this necessity. Make sure to get a life vest that fits the child well, never substitute a life vest with inflatable options. 

• Take CPR and first aid lesson for children. What you learn here will never go to waste and is not only limited to, water based emergencies, but other emergencies that you may encounter with a child, so it's best to be prepared and ready if something unthinkable happens. 

• Make sure to supervise the child in the water. Parent's should stay within arm’s length of children near water. 

• Always have your mobile phone nearby. 

• Be sure that all home pools are completely enclosed by a fence. This is important for the pools at the Summer Camp Nursery in Dubai as well, when there are children of all ages using the pool. The camp instructor and a lifeguard should be at the pool at all times for large pools, but if it's an inflatable pool, children should be only in the pool under supervision and in the right gear. 

• Remove all toys and other enticing play objects from around the pool. Nursery schools may use this to make pool time fun for children, but it's not safe . Make sure to establish the rule that “toy” playing happens outside the pool. 

• Consider swimming lessons. While this is not a guarantee that you can save a child from drowning, it can provide parents with a foundation for water safety rules and proper swim etiquette. 

• Always drain tubs, kiddie pools, water buckets, or anything else after use. 

• At the beach be mindful and vigilant of strong undertows and rip currents that can easily sweep children as well as adults underwater. 

• Keep in mind that small pools of water, including landscaping and are a source of danger. 

• Know exactly, that the signs of drowning are, because they look nothing like the thrashing and screaming you see on TV or in the movies. In reality, the warning signs are quiet and often missed.

Some of the most important water safety rules that parents should teach every child is,

• Don’t go close to water without an adult.
• Never dunk or push another child into the water.
• Don’t run on the pool deck or boat dock.
• Always jump in feet first.
