preschool matching games

children between 2 and 4 years of age develop this understanding through the relationships of "more-less-the same" . Matching is a prerequisite for conservation; it is one of the earliest mathematical concepts to develop and forms the foundation for the development of logical thinking. It is the understanding that one group has the same number of things as another. It is preliminary to counting and basic to the understanding of equivalence and the concept of conservation of number. Once children understand basic one-to-one correspondence, they can apply this concept to higher-level activities that involve equivalence and the idea of "more or less". Matching games improve language, concentration, and memory. Learn how to play matching games with your young kids in this  educational video clip.

preschool story time...

Preschool story time is important...
It does not matter if you are a home school educator or a preschool teacher, story time is an important part of any preschool student's educational experience. Story time can be as simple as reviewing popular nursery rhymes or as extensive as a story soap opera. Depending on the preschool student's leveled abilities and/or interests, story time can include the ever popular Humpty Dumpty or the divisional break down of popular books such as The Three Little Pigs. The reading item should be chosen based on attention span and actual interest of the preschool student.

Preschool Writing skills and activities

Very young children take the first steps toward writing by drawing and scribbling...others may dictate stories into a tape recorder or to an adult, who writes them down and reads them back...it is best to focus on the intended meaning of what very young children write, rather than on the appearance of the writing.

Children become more effective writers when parents and teachers encourage them to choose the topics they write about, then leave them alone to exercise their own creativity. The industriousness of such children has prompted one researcher to comment that they “violate the child labor laws”

The preschool years provide parents with the opportunity to build a solid base upon which good writing skills will be developed in later years. Use this critical time in a child’s development by providing paper, crayons, large pencils, good modeling on your part, and most of all, lots of encouragement and supportive response.

By starting with small symbols, learn how to teach your children beginning writing skills in this educational video.

Malaysia Pre-School is a school for the education of very young children (generally five years of age and younger). These schools seek to prepare young children before enrolling to schools with formal education, they only provide childcare with little educational benefits. Pre-schools which focus on education generally teach early social skills including interpersonal interaction, being a part of a group of peers, and classroom skills such as following the instructions of a teacher. Some formal education also takes place, such as early reading or language skills. Some nursery schools have adopted specialized methods of teaching, such as Montessori, and various other pedagogy.

In Malaysia, there are two types of instituitions that cater to Pre-School, i.e. the childcare centres which enrols children below four years old and the kindergartens which admits children between the ages of 4+ through 5+.
