Choosing the right preschool for your child is a significant decision that can shape their early learning experience. At Bubbles Preschool, a proud initiative of Brighton International School, we understand the importance of nurturing a child’s development through these formative years.
We focus not just on education but on fostering a love for learning while meeting essential preschool milestones.
Milestones Matter
Understanding preschool milestones can help parents track their child’s development and readiness for school. Each child is unique, but certain skills and abilities are generally expected at various preschool-age stages, typically from 2 to 5 years old.
Ages 2-3: Exploration and Play
During this stage, children are naturally curious and eager to explore the world around them. At Bubbles Preschool, we encourage this exploration through play-based learning. Children will develop their fine motor skills and gross motor skills through activities. They will also start to express their feelings and needs more clearly, often using simple words and phrases. Socially, they begin to engage with peers, learning the basics of sharing and cooperation.
Ages 3-4: Independence and Imagination
As children approach the age of 4, their independence blossoms. They begin to take more initiative in their play and learning. At Bubbles Preschool, we provide opportunities for them to make choices, fostering a sense of autonomy. Language skills expand dramatically; children can form complete sentences and express their thoughts and ideas. Activities like storytelling, role-playing, and art projects stimulate their imaginations and encourage cognitive development.
Ages 4-5: Readiness for School
By the age of 5, children are preparing for a more structured learning environment. At Bubbles Preschool, our curriculum is tailored to ensure they are ready for the transition to kindergarten. Literacy and numeracy skills become central components. Children will learn to recognize letters, understand sounds, and even start basic writing skills. Math concepts, such as counting and simple addition, are introduced through engaging games and activities.
They learn empathy, take turns, and resolve conflicts. Our dedicated educators at Bubbles Preschool facilitate these interactions, creating a supportive environment where children feel safe to express themselves and develop crucial social skills.
Supporting Individual Development
Our approach at Bubbles Preschool is to recognize and nurture individual strengths and weaknesses. We engage parents in this journey, providing insights and support to help them understand their child’s unique developmental timeline. We believe that early childhood education is not just about reaching milestones but rather about creating a foundation for a lifelong passion for learning. By combining an enriching curriculum with a nurturing environment, we help children not only meet their developmental goals but exceed them, preparing them for a bright educational future.
