FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q). Is it necessay to send your child to a preschool? Isn't One and a half years too early?
These and many more questions are playing in the minds of parents and of course grandparents who find the idea of sending the apple of their eye to a total strange environment so early in life. So how important are the preschool years?
Extremely important. Let's understand ,Why?
At birth, all of your baby's organs - the heart, lungs, kidneys- are fully developed, but smaller than an adult's organs. All except one- the brain. Between the sixth week and fifth month of pregnancy, your baby's brain grew about 100 billion cells! Some of these brain cells are connected at birth, but most are not.
During the first five years of life (and afterwards at a slower rate), your child's brain is hard at work connecting these brain cells. And this is the time that most parents and grandparents think that all a child needs is food and rest. But no at this most important time the child needs many planned sensory activities which will help the child develop to his full brain capacity.
Q). But I never went to playschool and I am quite smart today?
Yes because you had the back up of a joint family and also people had time for each other, today even if a child is part of a joint family he spends most of his time watching t.v of playing computer games or just eating and sleeping and he is losing out on important brain development activities The Poly kids knows this and has the environment to support this kind of brain growth. It has a curriculum, equipment and staff that are trained in all this. It has invested in international brain development techniques and hence has the best environment for your child to grow.
Q). Can I not give my child the best toys at home?
Even when you buy the best toys, most parents and adults at home end up telling the child, 'don't touch' , whereas at this age the brain requires many sensory experiences and hence at The Poly kids there is a sensory rich environment for your child, because each time your baby uses one of her senses - seeing tasting, touching, hearing, and smelling - a connection or path is made in the brain. When your child has different kinds of experiences, and these experiences are related over and over again, the connections in the brain become stronger. These connections shape the way your child thinks, feels, behaves, and learns.
Q). How early should I enroll my child to The Poly Kids kids ?
Where your child's brain development is concerned, the earlier the better, so come to the experts and leave the rest to us.
Q). But won't my child cry and fall sick? He has never been out of home before and to leave him with a stranger?
Your child will cry only if he sees you upset, or if you do not reassure him because he is going through the separation anxiety stage. Hence at The Poly Kids all parents are first given a training about how to help their child adjust to the new environment and then only the child starts school. So once the mother is confident the child will naturally be confident and happy. Further the teachers and staff are so warm and caring that you will never feel that they are strangers.
Q). What harm can an untrained school do to a preschooler?
Unrepairable! Just like your child's legs will become bowed or bent for life if you make your child walk before the leg muscles are ready, similarly the brain will be underdeveloped and unresponsive if the right sensory inputs are not given in the first five years. The damage will be for life. Damage like- not remembering learning, forgetting every time taught, dislike of certain subjects, inability to solve problems on their own. And then as the child grows older more and more dependence on guide books, tuition classes etc.
Q). Instead of sending a child to a preschool can I not leave him with my parents? Afterall being with them will be good for him.
Of course spending quality time with grandparents Is one of the best things that you can gift your child. but do not substitute preschool with it. Both are equally important. 90% of your child's brain development happens in the first 2 years. his emotional development , his language development are also important in these preschool years. so what your child needs is expert care at a good preschool, a school that knows that stress and undue pressure are harmful for brain development. you need to enroll your child in a school that understands children and accepts that play is the work of childhood. be aware of schools that give in to your demands of teaching your child writing and reading too early, too soon. Today, sadly at home a child is spending more and more time doing sedentary activities, playing with battery operated toys and watching television. instead he should be in a good preschool where he can exercise his fine and gross motor skills, explore with creativitiy and imagination, play with toys lik e blocks, puzzles and free play activities and have fun with sand and water play.
