In India, the permitted age of child admission to preschool starts from 1.5 years. However, for the overprotective parents, the thought of sending the apple of their eye to a school seems to give them a nervous breakdown. From being fitted snugly into the comfortable arms of parents to spending alone time in a class is a life-changing event for toddlers of 1.5 years.
So, what is the right age for kindergarten admission? This is an ongoing debate. Before stepping into the web of education, a preschool prepares your child to become confident and make them acquainted with the basic pattern of a school.
Hence, early admission to preschools is a necessity for every child. With this positivity in mind, PBAS introduced the Tiny Scholars Montessori, a preschool initiative for little ones born in 2021. So, if you have a toddler of 1.5 years or more, contact PB Academy. Admissions are open for the academic year 2024-2025.
What is the right age for preschool admission?
Every human is different in nature, behaviour, readiness and learning ability. However, research shows that a human child’s brain is ready to intake knowledge and instructions from the age of 1.5 years.
If you wait for 3 years, your child might have developed a few habits that will make you think you should have started preschool earlier. Preschools are designed keeping the needs of the toddlers in mind. So, they will be guided throughout the session with utmost care and love.
Why is early preschooling a good option?
1. To manage separation anxiety
Preschool is the first place your child will stay away from you. Instead of giving them a surprise when they have grown up, by introducing them to preschool at an early age, you will help them manage their separation anxiety. Teachers in preschools are trained to handle cranky and crying children. They will learn to stay away from home and parents easily.
2. To get potty training
Preschools are the best place where your child will get proper potty training. It isn’t easy to make a 1.5-year-old understand that they must inform the caregiver when they need to go to the bathroom. However, a preschool will teach the same.
3. To develop numeracy and literacy skills
Preschools do not put pressure on the syllabus; they concentrate more on holistic development by teaching numeracy and literacy skills to the child. While playing, they will learn to count and identify numbers, alphabets, objects and colours. Thus, the child’s basic motor skills will start developing from an early age.
4. To learn communication
Toddlers need to start communicating in sign language from an early age. This is the first step towards mental development. A 1.5-year-old will not be able to express in words, but preschool sessions will teach them to express their basic needs like thirst, hunger, toilet needs and demands through sign language.
5. To learn to follow instructions
If you admit your child to a preschool at an easy age, you can expect them to learn to follow the basic instructions. They will learn instructions like “sit down”, “stand up”, “move”, “come here”, “close the door”, and “take out the book” from an early age.
