What should determine your choice of a preschool for your child?
When it comes to choosing a preschool for children, not many people understand the differences of quality between the wide selection of schools available to them. Only a few parents realise that the type of school they send their children to can determine the quality of educational foundation a child’s future depends on.
Here are essential tips to select the best preschool for your child.
Living in Bangkok provides an opportunity to give your children the best early education they can have and will be proud of when they grow up. While there are many preschools in Bangkok, selecting the best nursery school in Ekamai can be challenging for most parents. The tips below should help you choose:
- Select a high achieving, vision-oriented school
The best nursery school in Sukhumvit should have a clearly defined vision upon which your child’s successful education will be built. The vision should define what the school stands for in exposing your child to exceptional learning experiences and multicultural opportunities, with a detailed day-to-day programmatic plan to accomplish that vision.
It is an undisputed fact that nobody can give what they do not have. A school offering an international approach to education must provide first-hand experience of what they seek to impart to your child. When looking for an International Preschool in Sukhumvit, one should seek information on the Director and Founder of the school. Do they have international experience? What are their credentials that qualify them to offer multicultural education opportunities? Look at the school’s curriculum and learning timetables to see if they have what it takes to give your child the best international education training. A good international preschool will have a well-defined curriculum that will sew the seeds of foreign language in your child to prepare them for global cultural diversity and understanding. For instance, Mandarin and Thai language options provide an exceptional complement to English language learning.
- It is not only about a beautiful school building; it is about the resources, commitment and skills it provides.
Preschool education is a blend of teacher directed learning and child directed play in a safe and appropriate environment with resources designed to enhance their learning performances. A school needs to have the environment conducive to high quality learning and play, with tailor made facilities and a teaching team skilled in the art of early childhood education guidance.
- A school with a multinational enrollment policy
Bangkok is a culturally diverse society with many of its inhabitants coming from different parts of the world to seek social and economic prosperity in Thailand. An excellent International Preschool in Sukhumvit should attract children from the many different cultures resident in Bangkok. A school’s intention must not be to force Thai culture on its pupils but to recognise the diversity that makes Bangkok an international hub. A preschool that can accommodate children of different nationalities is a school that is prepared to offer your child, well-defined global opportunities.
- An excellent curriculum offering language acquisition
The entry point of global opportunity starts with understanding major languages spoken around the world. While it is impossible to learn every language, learning a basic fluency in core languages such as English, Mandarin and Thai is preparing children for wider possibilities for success in the world.
