Choosing a primary or prep school for your child can be a difficult decision. Every parent wants the best for their child. They want their child to be happy, to have friends, to feel safe and to be known.
Parents play a vital role in the early years and the partnership between parents and the school can have a significant impact on a child’s progress. In subtle ways, a parent’s attitude towards teachers and the school is noticed by even the youngest children. Therefore, it is important when choosing a school for your child that as a parent you feel comfortable and welcome when you visit the school.
Conclusion
Every child is unique but all children thrive in an environment where they are known personally, cared for deeply and challenged extensively.
No school is perfect but finding a school where your child will love learning and feel safe to make mistakes and grow is important.
The prep years set the foundation for lifelong learning. Developing strong literacy and numeracy skills, developing resilience, persistence, tolerance and empathy in a nurturing environment can set your child up for success. Give them a strong start!
