In the context of retaining more qualifications and academic competition, the question of whether sending children at the ages of 3 or 4 to childcare centers is more effective than waiting for the start of primary school has gained traction . While taking kids to preschools does certainly foster a love in learning and grant busy parents a chance to bring up their kids for them , its potential drawbacks also carry greater weight.
Proponents of having children studied at preschools cite various reasons to support their stance . When kids attend childcare centers, they will start forming strong passion for continuous learning, thereby exploring unique classroom settings particularly designed for young minds , and having play- based learning experiences. This further intensifies their passion for learning while simultaneously enhancing their cognitive functioning by getting a broader understanding of the basics such as numbers , colors , and letters . In a world where the interest in studying has disappeared, preschools can make a big difference when it comes to arousing interest in education among today’s youth.
Beyond their enthusiasm evoking feature, nursery schools also provide an opportunity to take good care of kids while their parents delve into their professional lives , thereby keeping the young safe under the hands of highly educated and child-loving tutors . This indeed helps them steer clear of leading a sedentary lifestyles and developing bad habits like getting accustomed to a mobile phone or oversleeping while their parents are making huge efforts to move up their professional ladder. A case in point is my home country of Uzbekistan where the widespread availability of preschools has come so far to help swamped working fathers and mothers do their jobs freely, otherwise, they would face hardships juggling their children and work.
However, these globally popular preschools do also have some damaging effects . By taking kids to these schools , parents may miss out an opportunity to form pure relationships with their offsprings. In the absence of hand on practice learning, from holding kid’s hand to teach them how to write to read different tales , can create tenuous family relationships. Given the poor ties in between, sending kids to preschools can exacerbate existing challenges.
In addition, making kids attend preschools puts them under pressure, through teaching them from young age,health conditions of them might get worsened. Thereby , compromising their mental well-being after which kids may start pulling themselves from engaging in educational settings as a result of mental burnout, which can be one reason to grow illiterate throughout their lives .
In conclusion, while nursery schools provide excellent pre-learning experience full of joy and fun coupled with a benefit as a babysitting , they also prevent family bonds from developing and puts them under substantial academic pressure.
