Your toddler is one little busy body and you are probably wondering when might be a good time to start her off at preschool. Have you considered enrolling her in a preschool this Vijayadasami?
Vijayadasami is an auspicious time in South India for initiation of formal education for children. It is usually on this day that children start their learning of music and the arts. Since this is a wonderful day for new beginnings, it could also be the ideal time to start your toddler on her preschool experience. Here are some reasons why:
- Rituals encourage readiness:
When the child and the parent go through a ritual of initiation, both ready themselves for commitment into that endeavour. If you think about any ritual you follow at home, notice how it requires commitment, planning and involvement. And these three ingredients are key to any successful initiative. When you start your child with a ritual such as the Vidyarambham, there is a greater chance that you are more committed, planned and involved. And that would mean a much easier transitioning process for your child.
- Get a head-start on learning
Most schools start enrolling children from June but initiate admissions only around December/ January of the previous year. Your child could greatly benefit from spending time in a preschool environment as a start to her formal schooling. A good preschool program such as Amelio’s will give your child a safe environment with loving and supportive teachers. She will be encouraged to learn through her own initiative thereby building her self-esteem and readiness to formal schooling.
- Make those first besties
Usually, many children enroll in preschools around Vijayadasami therefore creating a lovely, cosy group of children and parents who start their journey of education in each other’s company. They form friendships for life and proceed on to schooling and other experiences together. It’s a beautiful way to get your child initiated into learning, also socially.
