More and more parents are recognizing the importance of the early years to their children’s success in elementary school and beyond. Consider this: the most active time of brain development occurs before age 5. Strong neural connections formed during this critical time are established by the experiences children have with their environment. The quality of those early interactions determines how children continue to learn and form relationships, strongly influencing their future success and happiness.
Research confirms that nurturing guidance and attention to every aspect of development in the early years help children develop compassion, confidence and a love of learning, in addition to competence and academic skills. These capabilities are easy to take for granted, but can make all the difference in how children respond to school and life beyond the classroom.
“School readiness is essential to a child’s success in elementary school and beyond,” said Ami Sanjanwala Owner of the NEW Primrose School of North Olathe located catty-corner to Olathe Northwest High School. “Children who receive a quality preschool, pre-K and kindergarten education develop into well-rounded individuals prepared for learning and for life.
At Primrose Schools, “readiness” means more than just learning how to add and spell. It means learning how to think critically, use mathematical concepts, share and show self-control – skills that support a positive transition to elementary school. Primrose Schools supports the development of social and life skills, as well as executive function. Research shows that executive functioning skills help children establish positive relationships and close the achievement gap.
The Primrose Schools Balanced Learning® system blends academics, play and character development to build a strong foundation and nurture a lifelong love of learning. In addition to core academic subjects, the curriculum includes enrichment programs in music, physical activity, art, sign language, Spanish, technology and social skills.
The Bracken Assessment, a nationally recognized assessment tool, indicates that Primrose Schools students perform at twice the level of their peers and also show 1.3 times more yearly growth. Results from a survey of parents whose children graduated from a Primrose school show that parents rated their children above 90 percent in school readiness factors such as their ability to relate to peers, enthusiasm for learning, positive classroom behavior, concern and caring for others, and ease of transition.
Parents choose Primrose Schools because of its proven value in preparing children for success in school and in life. Nationally recognized assessment tools and our own research with Primrose parents show that Primrose pre-K and kindergarten students are advanced in social skills and concept knowledge, and therefore more ready for elementary school than many of their peers.
Primrose Schools believes that with the right foundation, anything is possible for your child.
