EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION QUESTIONS- Frequently Asked ...

On the subject of early childhood education, many parents find themselves asking questions about the program. Many early childhood education programs offer a list of commonly asked questions for parents to browse when they make the decision to enroll their child; these questions cover a variety of subjects and are designed to assist parents in understanding the concept of early childhood education and what to expect from the program in which they wish to enroll their child.

While the primary basis of all early childhood education programs is to provide quality education for young children, the operation of each is vastly different depending on the funding of the facility, which is why even with the answers to these questions, parents should still seek confirmation on any given subject with the program they wish to enroll their children.

How do I know which program is the best one for my child and my family?

This is a question with many answers; all dependent on a family?s individual circumstances. Many early childhood education programs offer something different. The Head Start program is specifically designed for children whose parents? income is below a certain level. The Preschool for All program is designed for children at risk of school failure; there are many other programs available for all types of children in all areas of the country.

How long is a school day?

This, again, depends on the program your child is enrolled. Many programs offer full day classes, but spots are limited to those on a first come first serve basis. Other programs offer half day classes free of charge but charge a fee for a full day of classes, which is something many working parents have to take advantage of.

Can I take my child to school anywhere or does it have to be near my home?

Early education programs do not set boundary limits the same way that public primary schools do. Parents that want their child to go to school in a different neighborhood or town may enroll them at any time.

Is transportation provided?

Early childhood education programs do not offer buses or other methods of transportation to and from school. This is completely the responsibility of the parent.

Early childhood education programs are great programs that help children to expand their knowledge and learn to interact in a school setting prior to kindergarten. Faculty and administrators are happy to answer parent?s questions.
