Many parents misunderstand the purpose of a kindergarten in Bangkok. They think it’s the beginning of a child’s formal education. In truth, it prepares a child for their education by providing a framework for developing the skills they’ll need to succeed in the classroom and the larger world.
It develops their confidence and social and verbal skills while honing their fine motor skills. These are the tools every child uses to learn.
Introduction to an Education
By providing a place for structured play, the Bangkok kindergarten sets the stage for the child’s upcoming formal education. It serves as both a transitional place from the home to a school environment and a place of monitored development. Children learn how to cooperate, take turns, and share. They also learn the benefits of these actions in how they’re perceived among their peers.
They are introduced to a structured day and the importance of doing all the activities that are a part of their daily programme. A favourite word of children is “why”. By answering the child’s questions and learning the reason for doing all the things on their schedule, the child begins to grasp the concept of structured education.
Harnessing a Child’s Curiosity
Children are naturally curious. Kindergartens in Bangkok use this natural curiosity to help instil a love of education that will serve the child throughout their lives.
The teachers invite a love for books by putting aside a part of the day to read a story to the class. By exposing them to a variety of captivating stories in the library of books, they encourage the child to look forward to when they are taught to read.
The same techniques are used to get the child interested in many of the other subjects they’ll be studying in their school careers. By introducing these subjects in simple, easily understood examples that often take the form of games, the child is accepting of the subject and comes to see it as a normal part of their school day.
Providing The Tools of Learning
The games that kindergartens in Bangkok offer every day have two distinct purposes. They introduce the subjects of study to the children, but they also help develop the skills that every child needs to participate in their education.
Their motor skills need to be developed. Counting games and active play games help the child to develop their motor skills while having fun.
They also have to learn the basics of correct behaviour to co-exist with their peers in a positive learning environment. The concepts of waiting their turn, sharing things and accepting the will of others may be completely foreign concepts to a child, depending on their home environment. Yet, they are necessary elements of every formal education.
Kindergartens in Bangkok prepare a child for their formal education years. They are a pre-cursor to an education that is extremely important. They serve to create a willing and eager educational participant who learns to love their education.
