It's never too early to look for preschools

Finding the right preschool for your child can be a tricky process.

School opening times or your child’s circumstances all play a part in making the decision.

Therefore when visiting a prospective preschool and considering enrollment there are a lot of things to consider.

At Kids Konnect we know how important it is that your child is happy at preschool.

So, if you’re a parent looking for your child’s new preschool how can you make your search easier?

Let’s discover why it’s never too early to start looking for preschools.

You Feel That Your Child Is Ready:

Does your child seem ready for preschool?

Preschool is an opportunity not to be missed.

Early education can promote a lifelong love of learning but how do you know if your little one is ready?

If your child is becoming more independent and has mastered basic skills such as conversing, potty training and eating without assistance, then preschool could be right for them.

Don’t worry if your child struggles with separation anxiety – this is a normal response to the preschool transition and should get better with time.

What is more, preschool education encourages physical, mental and social well-being, triggers responsibility and instills a sense of accomplishment within your child.

Class-size, staff-child ratio, and provisions for children with learning difficulties are criteria that could affect your decision.
