Families are children’s first teachers! Talk to your child’s Early Childhood Educator (ECE) about how they practice a play-based approach. You may also want to ask how your family can encourage learning through play at home.
Questions you may consider asking your child's ECE:
How will the pre-primary program prepare my child for school?
How can I as a parent add to the pre-primary program’s information and understanding about my family’s culture?
My child needs some additional supports in order to participate in activities with the rest of the children, how do you plan for that?
How do early childhood educators expand children’s opportunities to learn through play?
In Pre-Primary, we focus on children’s social and emotional learning styles.
Here's what that looks like:
Supporting your child’s relationship building
Supporting your child’s confidence
Supporting your child’s communication skills
Teaching your child to identify and express emotions
Teaching your child about feelings
Making the most of playtime
Teaching your child to become independent
Nurturing your child’s social and emotional development
