How does Green Campus help kids’ mental and physical health?

The moment a child enters Pre-school parents start worrying about the academic gains that their child should make. However, if a parent is really looking for an all-round development, they should go in for an International Preschool for their child

While we agree Early Education creates an important foundation for academic skills, many parents would be surprised to know that skills are actually more predictive of adult outcomes rather than early academics. So, while many parents and schools feel the pressure to cut back on play and social interaction in order to get more ‘Hard Skill’ instruction time in, the reality is that it’s the ‘soft skills’ that actually indicate long term success.  Best Preschools in Bangalore have now realized this value and have started focusing on skill development.  

Several measures have been adopted globally by parents and teachers especially in IB schools around the world to get children to connect with their peers. Schools even hold co -curricular classes and events to bridge this gap. As adults we need to build some competencies to foster the growth of skills in every situation. Children constantly adapt to change so the most important aspect to look into as adults would be to reassure the child of their safety by creating a routine. Provide them with options to engage in social interactions. It is important for them to build social relationships and interact with children their age.  The great advantage that International Preschools have is ‘diversity’, children from all over the world prefer to join IB or International preschools so as to have a continuity in curriculum. When children interact with peers from different places, the enhancement in personal social and emotional skill development is high.

Children who can empathize, perceive feelings and emotions are always at an advantage when getting along with others. One can hone and foster these skills in children by calling attention to the different emotions. The Best Preschools in Bangalore have engagements and activities designed for the children to not only build on their reading, writing and numeracy but these activities all have a component of skill building that enables each child to develop and grow in more ways than one.

This means that the children need to look beyond themselves and recognize the feelings of others. IB schools focus on building the learner profile attributes in the children and complementing and appreciating them at each step encourages and motivates them to do more of the same. Simple opportunities to help, role modelling helpful actions in front of them, encouraging others to showcase helpful behavior and planning activities around the development of skills are some of the tried and tested ways by the Best Preschools in Bangalore who have gained a great reputation for teaching beyond the classroom.

Though competition and a fast-paced society of today gives one an impression that a child needs to be advanced academically as soon as possible, the reality of the 21st century is the development of the ‘soft skills’ is what will serve the children better in the future- So simple processes of playing, engaging with others, interacting and building relationships should be in focus. IB schools and truly International schools have designed curriculums that build on this development and have started transforming teaching and learning around the world from Preschool itself.
