Parents often feel that their child should only play during their preschool years and learning should be left to the teachers when they get to school. Many parents don't realise that the first five years, the preschool years, are dubbed the formative years. This is the period the child develops approximately 70% of their brain connections. Stimulation to the brain during this time is imperative as it strengthens these connections and absorbs information like a sponge.
The Bright From The Start Get Ready For School program is for families or caregivers who want to help their preschool children to learn and develop some of the skills necessary for success in school.
Children need good posture, muscle tone and fine motor control to begin school. A child who is clumsy and can't move well, who is floppy, hasn't got a good pencil grip and can't hold scissors properly is probably going to have some difficulty in their first year of school.
Kids need to have sufficient physical development to competently master the technical stuff of school. If they can open their school bag, take lids off lunch boxes, get out pens and put their shoes on, it will help them to feel comfortable in the school environment from the beginning.
Children
quite often get their act together quickly once they are at school but
a child who arrives with an inner core of social, emotional and basic
skills will be ready to learn with joy, without being overburdened.
