How Can You Help Prepare Your Child?
- Play! Playing allows sharing, creativity, conversation and memory making.
- Read to your child every day. Have books available. Visit the library. Reading should be a part of your everyday routine.
- Talk with your child. Be specific about colors, shapes, numbers, letters, words that are all around us. Share with your child what they are doing. The more talk, the more vocabulary they will have! Discuss all the fun they are going to have at school!
- Set good morning and bedtime routines. 4, 5, & 6 year olds should get between 10-12 hours of sleep a night.
- Develop self-help skills by encouraging independence in everyday activities like: using the restroom, opening lunch containers, tying shoes, putting on a coat, zipping, buttoning pants, washing hands, etc.
"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning."-Mr. Rogers
