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.
