Helping your child at home
At Incy Wincy's Pre-school we believe that children should learn to be as independent as is possible at each stage of their development.
We will support you by working together with a consistent approach. With this approach we aim to enable your child to go to school with life skills as well as meeting their individual levels of development.
Life skills:
- help them become independent in their toileting and dressing - model how to, allow them time to try for themselves, offer praise and support when they try
- to be confident enough to ask for help if they need it - it is sometimes hard to admit we need help, model that it's ok to ask, include them in your tasks by asking for their help with the cooking, dusting, clearing up etc
- to be able to speak to both adults and their peers - chat about everything as if they were your peer, this will encourage and support their communication skills and confidence to speak
- to be able to make new friends
- be enthusiastic learners
Finally, work with us to enable your child to be their best.
