At present, it is becoming more and more popular to attend early development courses, where mothers take babies from a very early age. The choice of courses should be taken responsibly so that the child gets the maximum benefit from the lessons.
Choice of early development schools
Recently, schools of early development began to appear in almost every Russian city. The classes taught at these schools are for the youngest children. These courses are paid. You need to choose them carefully so that the baby acquires the necessary skills in the classroom and gains certain knowledge.
The cost of attending various early childhood schools is about the same. You need to focus primarily on the training program, as well as on the professionalism and personal qualities of teachers. Preference should be given to precisely those schools in which classes are taught by professionals with a higher pedagogical or psychological education. Unfortunately, many institutions pay attention to the environment in classrooms, to the quality of consumables, but at the same time they choose the wrong teachers.
Classroom furnishings are of course very important. But the abundance of toys in the public domain distracts kids from their activities. For overly active babies, this can interfere with the assimilation of the material.
All early development courses have different programs. The lesson should include outdoor games, exercises for the development of fine motor skills, drawing, modeling. To understand how a particular program suits the child, you need to attend one lesson and observe how the child will behave, how interesting it will be in the team, how attentively he will listen to the teacher.
Early development courses can also be selected based on the reviews that parents of other babies leave on various sites. In addition, you can ask around your friends. Perhaps someone has already taken their child to one of the schools and can express their opinion about it.
Rules for attending early development courses
You can start attending early childhood school as early as 11 months. As a rule, teachers divide all children into several groups. The division is based on age differences. When choosing between an older and a younger age group, it is better to give preference to the group where older toddlers are trained, so that the child reaches out for the children studying there.
The optimal frequency of visits is 2 times a week. For the classes to be of maximum benefit, parents need to review the material at home. Some children are embarrassed to perform certain exercises in the courses, and at home they are happy to repeat everything after adults.
