It is often seen that parents are reluctant to send their toddlers to school. There are two primary reasons for it. First and foremost they do not wish to keep their children away from home for extended periods of time. Secondly they do not wish to burden their children with schoolwork and academics at such a young age. 

They feel guilty that they are trespassing on a child’s right to play and indulge in his own fun activities at that certain age. However, it is important to understand that Pre School or Nursery School can help your toddler in more ways than one. As far as quality preschool is concerned, the concern is not much on developing the academic skills of the child but developing the child as a whole.  The child’s social, cognitive and mental skills are developed as he learns about basic social skills in a group setting and has the opportunity to have a structured routine of songs, dance, artwork, stories, outdoor activities, music, etc.  They learn self-help skills, responsibility, management, communication skills. A child learns the importance of his own name, things and friends. The early preschool education provides the kid with the knowledge and the skills that builds character, discipline and a positive attitude towards life. A premium quality school with motivated and dedicated teachers and a nurturing environment allows the kid to adopt the social skills and structure necessary for a child to have a successful school life as well as a successful life.

Study shows that that high quality pre-school experience have lasting effects on toddlers throughout the early years of primary school. It is not hard to decipher as brain development is highest during the first four years of life. Children at this age are rapid learners with a keen sense of observation. They want and need to learn new information and a preschool is the most apt for it. Your child can benefit immensely when interacting in a quality nursery school which is content rich with appropriate information and materials.

Parents are often in a dilemma whether they should send their small kids to play school or keep them at home a little longer. The situation usually arises when the child celebrates his/her second birthday. This dilemma or doubt is to a considerable extent is absent in households where both parents work. Sending kids to a play school for parents who both go to office does not involve much deliberation or complex decision making process as it is much better for their kids to remain under proper care and attention for the duration the parents are not at home.  Kids aged between 2+to 4+ are very curious and demanding by nature and to leave them in seclusion with a  bored caretaker is certainly not the best way you can prepare them for the life ahead. It is best if they are sent to a play school where they can mingle with other children of their age group and enjoy fun activities and interactive learning sessions from trained and experienced teachers and staff.

Even in households where both parents do not work, it is important to understand that play school could still be the best bet for your kids as top quality play schools in Gurgaon or for that matter top class schools anywhere else in India can do an exceptional job of nurturing the toddlers. Small kids prefer a variety of activities that will keep them engaged and entertained. Absence of these activities can easily bore them and curtail to a certain extent their mental educational and emotional development. Although the minimum prescribed age for kids to be sent to a playschool is 2+yweras, there is no hard or fast rule to it and you as a parent are in the best position to decide the right time for your kid to attend a playschool.
