Building Strong Foundations: The Benefits Of Early Education In Play School
Introduction
Do you all have trouble remembering the Hindi alphabet? Have you ever thought why do we all have trouble remembering it even though we all studied it in our elementary classes? We all have experienced the ordeal when someone asks us about it and then we fail to answer it. The reason for this forgetting is that we just rote learned it in the beginning and never really learned it by heart. We all must have found it boring, right? This has led to us having a weak foundation in Hindi and the main reason was that we never found this alphabet interesting or interactive but as a burden.
It has been rightly said that only a strong foundation can hold a magnanimous building. If the foundation is weak, the site is likely to fall in ruins. This is not only true in the case of buildings but also in life, especially education. We all acknowledge the importance of a strong foundation in education. Our knowledge and skills later build upon it and then only we are able to achieve success in life.
What exactly can we call a strong foundation?
A strong foundation in education is one which holds clear and straight concepts without any ambiguity. But the fact is that a strong foundation does not limit itself to conceptual clarity. A strong foundation comprises a well-built educational understanding, sound mental health and good physical health for mental health, a good and healthy emotional environment is required as we discussed in our previous blog. In this blog, we are going to discuss the importance of a clear conceptual understanding as well as good physical health and the role they play in the building of a strong foundation.
Importance of strong foundations:
Now let us first discuss why strong foundations are important in a student’s life. Strong foundations provide clarity to the students for their future education. This helps them in taking their decisions wisely, discovering their passions and unravelling their potentials. In order to learn complex subjects, the basic concepts of a subject must be clear. If not, you cannot do it or you cannot excel in that subject. These basics only can lead to an understanding of complex fields.
Why strong foundations should be built at a young age:
At a young age, these foundations can be firmly built. It is at this age that they can absorb a lot of information and it is easy for them to learn as they are devoid of all the worldly pressures and stress. Clearing the fundamentals of anything at this age can prove to be highly beneficial. With these fundamentals, they can later develop their skills and passions. It becomes difficult for a child to learn simple, basic concepts at a much older age and it can also cause the child to lag behind others which can impact his/ her mental health as well.
Importance of play schools:
Now talking of why these strong foundations are important, we must not forget the importance of a play school in this context. Elementary play schools are the best way to build a strong foundation in your children and ensure a sound future. Play schools ensure your child’s learning while also making sure that he/she is enjoying their time and is active. The way play schools teach specific things is impeccable considering that they nurture creativity as well as innovation in their students from such a young age. They ensure the holistic development of your child which includes sound physical health and conceptual clarity we are talking about.
Ways in which they enhance a student's foundation:
Here are some of the ways we feel through which play school enhances a student’s development and helps build a strong foundation:
1) They teach basic concepts of the subjects in interactive and interesting ways so that the children do not get zoned out and focus on the classes while enjoying learning.
2) They give the child time to relax and play which keeps their minds recharged and when they return back to their lessons, they can concentrate very well. This helps them to learn faster as well as remember it for a long time.
3) They encourage students to play multiple sports which keeps them hale and healthy. It is well said that a sound mind rests in a sound body and they apply it in their institutions.
4) Playing and learning together is the best way to teach a child and they do exactly the same. This is very different from the outdated methods of teaching and is very effective as well!
5) The teachers are trained in a way so that they give ample amounts of time to every student to learn and understand the concepts and build a long lasting understanding of them.
Conclusion
Overall, we see that string foundations can be firmly built in play schools and in a better way than common school. They later on provide the kids with many benefits which are useful in the children’s life. Therefore, we all should cultivate a habit of carefully choosing environments for our children and choose the best play school for them to build their knowledge.
