Kindergarten should be a smooth, sunny introduction to real school for children, since it sets the stage for the rest of his/her education.
It provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving and study skills that will be use throughout schooling. This is the foundation for all the big learning ahead.
The development of self-esteem is one of the important goals of kindergarten. This is the process of helping children feel good about who he/she is and confident in the ability to tackle the challenges of learning. If a child feels like she can learn, she can!
Kindergarten teaches cooperation; the ability to work, learn and get along with others. Each child has very distinctive personalities. Kindergarten provides children with the opportunity to learn patience, as well as the ability to take turns, share and listen to others – all skills that they will use throughout their school years and beyond.
Most children are naturally curious, but some do not know how to focus or use this curiosity. Kindergarten is a time for sparking and directing curiosity and natural love of learning.
