3.Preparation for School

Preschool provides an opportunity to learn in a structured environment. Preschool helps children learn in a structured environment before they’re exposed to it on a daily basis in Kindergarten. They learn to share and follow instructions. They learn to raise their hand when they want to ask a question, take turns, and share the teacher’s attention. Preschool helps with social and emotional development. Kids need to be imaginative and socialize, because that’s what fosters creative and well-rounded people. Preschool provides children with the opportunity to learn how to interact and engage with others on a daily basis.

Speech, language, and communication are critical areas of development for children. They play a vital role throughout our lives, helping us to understand what is going on around us, communicate our basic needs and feelings, hold conversations, think and learn, develop relationships, solve problems, and more. They also support many other aspects of development, including cognitive, social, and literacy development. Research has found, however, that in some areas, more than 50% of children entering reception have language levels below what is expected for their age. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, this statistic has likely worsened as language development has regressed for many children, leaving them behind their peers. Both parents and early years workers could play a significant role in helping to improve children’s language development and outcomes. To aid you in doing this, in this article we will cover the stages of normal language development, why it is so import...

10. Early identification of development delays

Developmental delays are common in childhood, occurring in 10%–15% of preschool children. Global developmental delays are less common, occurring in 1%–3% of preschool children. Developmental delays are identified during routine checks by the primary care physician or when the parent or preschool raises concerns. Assessment for developmental delay in primary care settings should include a general and systemic examination, including plotting growth centiles, hearing and vision assessment, baseline blood tests if deemed necessary, referral to a developmental paediatrician, and counselling the parents. It is important to follow up with the parents at the earliest opportunity to ensure that the referral has been activated. For children with mild developmental delays, in the absence of any red flags for development and no abnormal findings on clinical examination, advice on appropriate stimulation activities can be provided and a review conducted in three months’ time.

Ages and Stages: As part of social and emotional growth, a child’s moral development begins at birth. Early, caring experiences create trust, laying the foundation for positive relationships in the future. That foundation for ethical behavior with others builds over the first five years, as a child’s sense of justice and understanding of right and wrong behavior grows. Parents and other caregivers are crucial to this process. How can you help your child develop moral “intelligence” from birth? Here are some ideas: Ages 0-1: Infants learn right from wrong through experience. When a baby is hungry, wet, or lonely, it feels bad, uncomfortable, scary and “wrong.” When adults offer care and nurturing, it feels good and “right.” By promptly responding to a baby’s basic needs, including holding, singing, reading, and speaking from the start–along with feeding and changing–parents and caregivers help infants bond and feel safe. Early, secure attachment impacts moral and other learning: B...
