So if you know that a school has children coming into kindergarten who are already reading and your child doesn't know the alphabet yet,
Is that going to be a good fit?
So that's a question to ask.
And then it also depends on your child's preschool experience.
Some kids don't have a preschool experience and they're entering kindergarten for the first time.
And this is their first time being in that kind of a structured environment.
And you want to know how do the educators prepare the students for that kind of structured environment, particularly kids who've never had that experience before.
So you want to be asking questions about
How many of the students who enter kindergarten have had a preschool experience?
And those who don't, how do you prepare them for that transition?
And see if they're prepared to do that.
And have they had any experience working with kids who think what I often describe as think or experience the world differently?
And that may be in terms of delays in their language development, struggles with focusing, kids who are very bright but struggle in specific areas.
What are their experiences working with these
differently wired kids?
And that's an important question to ask because some schools, unfortunately, will say that they're just not prepared or they're not equipped to work with kids who think differently, who feel differently or experience the world differently.
And that's an important thing to know when you're choosing a school for your child.
I also think that a good question to ask is how much time will your child be spending engaged in structured reading and writing activities versus
kind of socialized and play-based learning.
Because you know your child and your preschool teachers have had your child for a while.
