As parents you will want the best kind of early education experience for your child. At The Berry Patch Preschool and Long Day Care Centre, our Sydney preschool programs prepares your child as they transition into big school.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our preschool and early learning programs encourage the development of skills including problem solving, enquiry, self-help, literacy and numeracy, to name a few.
When it comes to selecting the right childcare and preschool, it is important to do your research to ensure you select the early childhood education centre which is best for your child. Attending open days, talking to teachers and school directors, and searching on the internet to look for reviews is all apart of this process. With a wide selection of preschools in the Sydney area choosing the right Early Childhood Centre comes down to your personal preferences and where you child feels most comfortable.
Choosing a Preschool and Early Learning Centre
To help you pick the right preschool program for your child, we have created a list of some of the most important factors that you need to consider when selecting your child’s preschool.
1. Location
Ideally, you would want your child’s preschool to be close to home or work. Even better if it is in the same suburb. Most of the time, the closest preschool is the right one. By being close to your child’s centre, it will make it easier for you and your child. Not only will it allow your child to meet other children in the area, it will also give you peace of mind knowing you are only a few short minutes away.
2. Teacher Qualifications
The experiences of children at an early age are crucial to their development. Thus, early education requires a more specialised type of teaching. Early childhood educators should have the right qualifications, preferably a university degree in early childhood education or a Diploma or Certificate 3 in Children’s Services
3. Communication
Keeping a constant line of communication with teachers is important. You need to be able to talk to your child’s teacher about their progress and needs. The teacher should be available for a quick chat during pickup or drop-off.
