Attendance for your child and pre school years

In 5 weeks time my chloe will be attending pre- school... so below this is what pre- school means to us and how helping chloe attend these sessions its going to help her when she goes to school next year,,,,

Pre-schools is also known as playgroups or playschools, and is for for young children to learn and play in small groups,and is often close to Your home. So we are very lucky as our pre school is only 5 minute drive away...

Most pre-schools open for sessions of around two and a half hours at a time but some are open for the whole day. And mum or dad get the oppurnity to drop of their child and allow them to interact in a school environment...Some parents choose to stay on and do parent help, but at the the start it may not be a good idea as the teachers/ carers want the child to feel secure, and feel comfortable left by mum or dad...

This Gives your Child the oppurnitys to:

.Learn how to enjoy playing in a class environment and make Friends with the other children,
. Helps your Child acquire the skills of learning and gives them the head start for Big school...

and it helps you as a parent meet other parents and form Friendships as well....

Your child will learn to read, write, concentrate, and learn to sit down on the mat at story times.....

So the way it works here  at our school we start them at 4, and have a 6 week trial for our children to get prepared for school...

 Every state is diffrent and every school have diffrent Hours as well,. so i would suggest to contact your local school, and find out theoir requirements and registration days....

When chloe is to go, she will have her own Bag hook, where she will be shown where her bag goes, and she will also be provided with a communication book, so the teacher and i keep up to date on how chloe is progressing at school....

Towards the end of pre school, the teacher will check to make sure that they have all the require forms to have your child attend school the Following year and also  that they have a copy of the childs Birth certificate and immunisation records..

The Clothing Pool- Uniform shop assistant will also come around at the end of the session and show the school uniforms and take orders. and some will allow laybyes so all you need to do is pick up the uniform prior to school starting.......

Hope that you and your child will learn heaps by them attending pre-school. and if you are in doubt and need more answers, dont hesitate to ask the school for more information...

take care
