Kindergarten Readiness According to a Veteran Teacher
Meet Jackie Clark, an experienced educator with a passion for nurturing joy and growth in children. We discuss the evolution of kindergarten, the shift to full-day programs, the impact of universal pre-kindergarten, and the essential skills children need to thrive in their early education.
Jackie emphasizes the importance of social skills, emotional readiness, and fostering independence in young learners, while also addressing the balance between academic and social development. In this conversation, we dive into the importance of fostering independent life skills in children, the decision-making process for parents regarding school readiness, and the impact of homeschooling on socialization. We also address separation anxiety in young children, strategies for promoting fine motor skills in the classroom, and the significance of quality time and natural learning experiences in child development.
