Preschool and Your Child: What You Should Know

Rating:
Summary: Preschool Questions Answered
Review: As a mother of a young toddler, I was drawn to this book by the title. Wishing to gain a better understanding of what preschool is and isn't, this book proved to be very helpful in describing characteristics of good preschools, application processes, and even gauging if your child is ready for this first step in his or her educational career. Chapter four includes a very informative section detailing the traits and differences of two, three, and four year olds and what benefit they would have participating in a preschool program. In only four easy to read chapters, Ms. Townsend-Butterworth explains everything from the basics of a good preschool program, including goals and philosophies, provides a comprehensive checklist for parents while observing and visiting a preschool, and even supplies the reader with some helpful tips should you or your child experience some separation anxiety. This book is truly a must have for any parent thinking of enrolling their child in a preschool.
