Preschool is basically preparing the child for the school itself, so yes; exactly what the word is the combination of.

Kids at almost all the preschools learn how they should attend a class or how they should approach this new chapter of their life.

At this point, in most of the traditional preschools, students are either hooked on some unnecessary sensations or are treated as a herd that needs to be kept calm for a dedicated amount of time.

Unless it is a Montessori preschool, things are more or less the same. On the other hand, Montessori material is used to introduce young kids into the world of learning.

So, let’s learn what you can expect from a preschool for a 3 year old.

Allows Kid to Presoak the Education

Preschool is like rehearsal of education or school. First your child will be given chance to settle down and get the feel of things. Then in the preschools things start to look up.

• Routine Building: Your child will develop a habit of daily scheduling. They will learn there are certain things they need to do at certain times in a day.
• Social Interactions: Another very important part of the preschool routine would learn how to meet and make new friends. They will develop social skills that will assist them for the rest of their lives.
• Separation Anxiety: Kids especially preschoolers cry when they leave the warm of their mother’s presence right? That is separation anxiety. 90% of the children face it at the start of journey to the preschool but when they get the right environment that separation anxiety almost vanishes.

How to Talk & Listen

It is the basic, right?  When it seems very common it is not the case when it comes to teaching a kid how to put their feeling into the words, it is quite the opposite.

Some people may choose not to invest in a good preschool and try a nearby school for various reasons, however, this can prove to be very insensitive towards your child’s brighter future.

A good preschool or a good teacher can make or break your child’s future, as it is proven that 90% of a child’s brain is developed by the age of 6.

Hence, if the teacher is not encouraging eye-contact, question asking urges in your child, and is constantly push them towards silence, there is a gap somewhere.

And the deed doesn’t stop at the questions, answers are equally important. The children must learn how to phrase sentences. Never thought of it right? It is very important.

Learning While Playing

At least at the Montessori preschools we can assure you that kids learn while playing. The Montessori Material is designed in such a way that it can even a simple game can teach kids mathematics, geography, history, or any language.  

Age appropriate games are given to children in each Montessori preschool. When the traditional way of storytelling is fine, but result oriented games are much better to keep the children entertained as well as to teach them a thing or two.

What they learn in this age they will carry forward throughout their lives.

Motor Skills Development

Kids run, fall, get up, and play some more. This is exactly what they do in the preschool as well. However, they are learning essential things while doing all this. Did you know?

As it is the major part of learning how a child can use their body to explore the world around them. I am talking about both inside the classroom and at the playground.

• How to thread the beads?
• How to use the scissors safely?

Above-mentioned activities are how the kids learn the much required fine motor skills. Meanwhile, kids also develop physical strength in the playground or outside activities, which can be categorize as the gross motor skills.

Ending note

So, these are a few examples of what your child will learn in the preschool, both ways, in an authentic Montessori preschool or an ordinary preschool.

When the rehearsal part is mostly misunderstood, preschool is preparing your kid for next many years of learning and soaking information whenever they get it.

Bhupindera International Public Schools of Patiala is the one and only authentic Montessori preschool in the state.  The admissions are open for the year 2024-25. So, if you want your kid to speak 4 language including French, English, Hindi, and Punjabi, then BIPS Patiala is the way to go.
