Every parent wants their child to lead a happy and successful life. But a happy and successful life is more than good grades and a fulfilling career. You want them to excel in school and sports, to have great friends, and to be respectful to adults, teachers, and employers. You hope your adult children experience success in life, employment, relationships, family, and happiness.
How do you give your child their best future? Some would suggest that an early childhood education program helps children have an overall successful future. Here’s why:
Education is Training a Whole Person
Education isn’t about math and history facts or perfect test scores. It should encompass the training of the whole person. Noah Webster defined education as:
“The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.”
Education should address academics and also the child’s character, morals, values, and manners. Training a child rightly in these areas will give the child the best future.
As Webster’s definition indicates, parents and guardians are primarily responsible for education. Parents and guardians should take this responsibility seriously: you are shaping another person’s life!
At Crestwood Preschool Academy, we take the education of children seriously. We seek to give children an excellent early childhood education while helping them grow in their social skills and manners so they have the life skills they need for a successful life.
A Head Start on Academics
Crestwood Preschool Academy’s early childhood education program gives children an excellent foundation in academic knowledge. Children will learn their colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and more. They will also be introduced to basic math and reading concepts, and have plenty of exposure to arts and crafts. Knowing these skills is essential to springboard them into a successful academic career!
A Head Start on Social Skills
While early childhood education programs tend to emphasize academics, social skills are actually essential life skills. We all know highly intelligent people who lack vital people skills. Some of these social skills stem back to toddlerhood.
Toddlers who learn life skills like kindness, sharing, and conflict resolution generally turn into adults who are kind, generous, and peaceful. These values were instilled in them early, and those early habits stick with you for the rest of your life.
At Crestwood Preschool Academy, our caring staff helps every child learn the valuable skills of social etiquette, empathy, kindness, sharing, and conflict resolution. Children get extra opportunities to practice these skills, which increases proficiency.
A Head Start on Future Success
Enrollment in early childhood education can have the following benefits for future success:
- Higher academic grades
- More likely to graduate high school
- Higher earning potential and employment salary
- Reduced likelihood of criminal activity
- Better mental and physical health outcomes
All of these benefits will help your child have the greatest overall success in their lifetime.
