Child care in kid’s school and kindergarten

The concept of a play school doesn’t have anything to do with academics but lots to do with developing the Childs age-appropriate social behavior. Nursery and pre-nursery schools usually have 10-20 children from the same or nearby localities spend 1-2 hours each day under the supervision of Montessori trained teachers.

Play schools lay no stress on the child’s performance but on the contrary emphasizes on child care and the sensory-motor and the social development of the child. It is the playschool that observes whether the milestones of normal growth and development are being achieved by the child or not.

Some well recognized play schools are well equipped with a motor skills room, a drama and theatre room and a language room. Apart from basic toilet-training where children are asked to bring their portable potty bowls, some nursery and pre-nursery schools make the children visit the toilet at frequent intervals as part of their toilet training activity.

Almost all the children in the age group of 1+ and 2+ have an innate sense of imitating adults. This is the concept most play schools operate on. Soft toys and gender oriented toys are provided to children to transfer behaviors used during playtime such as feeding a doll, or combing its hair, a child will soon apply to itself in due course of time.

In a play school the supervisors focus on teaching children the age-appropriate behaviors through observation and imitation." Though most Nursery and pre-nursery schools adopt the play way method of teaching and helping the children enact nursery rhymes, the children also participate in role-play exercises." The aim is that each activity at the playschool actually becomes a learning experience for the child.

The children in turn learn how to share their food with others, talk politely, eat with social manners, visit the toilet, control their bladder and open up with people they are otherwise not used to. Brawling children, holding on to their parents on the first day of school is a common sight and nursery and pre nursery schools puts the smile back on their face making them confident little children.
