Parents have many choices to make for their children. One choice that weighs heavily on many parents is finding the right Beverly preschool for their child. When considering preschools, here are some tips to help parents make an informed choice.
Learning Style
While some parents want their children to attend a traditional preschool, others lean toward non-traditional settings such as Montessori preschools. The differences between the two are quite noticeable. In a traditional preschool, the teachers lead the children through lessons and activities throughout the day. All the children participate in these activities together.
Montessori schools approach learning differently. The classroom is child-focused and teachers follow the lead of the children. Instead of having structured activities that all participate in, children are allowed to explore five areas at their will. These areas include the following stations:
- Culture
- Language
- Mathematics
- Practical Life
- Sensorial Development
Parents know their children’s learning styles best. While some kids thrive in traditional classroom settings, others need a child-centered classroom with minimal distractions.
Budget & Availability
Parents also need to consider their preschool budget and program availability. Some parents need a preschool program that offers extended hours. Others only need a 2-3 day program. Most traditional and Montessori schools offer a variety of programming that fits different budgets. Parents should explore their options to find the best program for their child that meets the family’s needs.
