February is kindergarten registration time. It is the next step in your child’s learning journey.
A child’s journey to school starts at the moment of birth. Children learn by:
- Touching
- Hearing
- Tasting
- Seeing
- Smelling
- Moving
- Doing (one example is playing)
Here are some important tips for parents to help children learn:
- Lots of love
- Talking and listening
- Play, play and more play
- Daily physical activity
- Good nutrition
- Daily routines
- Regular health and development check-ups
Remember: You are your child’s greatest teacher and role model!
