Play Schools

This excellent article from Dr. Sushma Mehrotra explains what a play school is and how they operate.

To quote her - "At this stage, children learn best by observation. At home, this kind of learning is not at an optimum level. In a play school the supervisors focus on teaching children the age-appropriate behaviours through observation and imitation"

She goes on to say -
"A child's language skills develop faster as they interact with many children of their own age and a little older".

The experience of a mother can be summarized as -
"I think play school definitely helped my daughter. She became used to the idea of being away from home for a couple of hours a day. She became more talkative and started interacting much more. Initially, when I used to play nursery rhymes for her she would ask me to switch it off. She preferred Hindi film music. Now, she enjoys listening to cassettes of nursery rhymes because they are familiar to her."

Importance of Learning in Formative years

The early years of a kid are very vital in developing a strong individual. If the foundation is strong, than the personality of the kid develops exponentially and the individual will be ready to take on any challenge in their life.

Below 10 points emphasize, how and why a good environment is so important in the development of your baby.

• 50% of a person's ability to learn is developed in the first four years of life.
• Another 30% is developed by the eighth birthday.
• Those vital years lay down the pathways on which all future learning is based.
• After age ten, the branches that haven't made connections die off.
• Youngsters are their own best educators, parents their best first teachers.
• Youngsters learn best by what they experience with all their senses, so stimulate these senses.
• Our homes, beaches, forests, playgrounds, zoos, museums and adventure areas are the world's best schools.
• Simple physical routines can help infants explode into learning.
• Infants grow in a patterned way, so learn to build on that growth pattern.
• Learning anything, including reading, writing and math, can and should be fun.
