What is the best teaching method for your pre schooler?
I was surprised when I was searching for a preschool for my 2 and 8 months old son, I found out that there are different kinds of teaching method in every school.
I never knew that there are traditional, progressive, DAP (Developmentally Appropriate Practice), Eclectical and Montessori kind of teaching methods.
Some said that Ren is too young to go to school, he might get bored in attending school at an early age. But since Ren at his age doesn’t communicate with us yet and what he only tells is the Alphabet and Numbers from 1-10, I think we should enroll him now to enhance his language development. Besides I’ve learned that the critical age of a kid is between 2-6 years old. At this age, the kid’s brain is at it’s peak and we should nurture them all the information a young kid should know. I am a little bit worried in the delay of Ren’s language development, although hubby always tells me not to worry too much, but I still can’t help it. I feel that I failed to do the mother tasks because of this. That is why I want to ask for professional help (the teachers), I need to know how to teach him the right way. Enrolling him now will make a big difference than enrolling him later. Well, I think the tuition fee is the only thing that makes it hard.
I know that the traditional method will not work for Ren since he easily gets bored (Think he got that from me).Β The traditional method is the common way of teaching wherein children are seated while the teacher write at the blackboard and explains the lesson after wards.
So I am still thinking if the other methods will work for him and if there is one near in our place.
Please give me some advice, I need some help here. thank you!

I heard also that the Montessori style is good. However, I can’t say so from experience because I homeschooled our 3 children during preschool. Hope you find the right preschool for your child.

We recommend these alternative methods/approaches to learning, particularly the true Maria Montessori approach…you can read about it in this link

Hi Levy, I can’t give you advice but I want to share with you that when my daughter was in pre-school, her teachers would talk to me because my daughter didn’t like to talk much and would not answer her teacher’s questions. But eventually, in grade school, she talked a lot naman. Those are just stages but we need to keep on talking to them and teaching them.
