  • Preschool guide: 14 traditional and progressive preschools in San Juan

As much as we want to keep them as our babies forever, our kids have to grow up and attend school eventually, and preschool is where a child’s academic journey begins.

It’s in preschool where our children learn routines and practice their cognitive and social skills, which is why it’s really important for us to find a school where our child will thrive and will feel comfortable enough to learn and explore.

Preschool requirements

Before you start your search for the best preschool for your child, you have to make sure that he or she is ready to start school.

Along with that, it’s also a good idea to prepare the following requirements to facilitate your child’s enrollment.

  • Birth certificate of the child
  • Baptismal Certificate (for Catholic schools)
  • Marriage Certificate (unless single parent or not married)
  • 1×1 photo of the child
  • Accomplished Application Form from school
  • Other requirements from the school

How to choose a school that is right for your child?

Parents should choose a preschool based on the quality of the teachers, the policy enforced by the preschool director, resources, the overall environment, and fit for your child, not so much on its written education philosophy.

Oftentimes, when you talk to preschool directors, you will find that they like to emphasize their education method. Parents are therefore led to believe that they should pick the right preschool based on the marketed philosophy.

However, preschools do not need any accreditation to use the names of those education methods. Subscribing to a philosophy does not guarantee it will deliver the same type or the same quality across the board.

Your child’s experience will mostly be shaped by the teachers, the environment, and the policies of the preschool.

It is more important to understand how the teachers are interpreting and incorporating that philosophy into their teaching than whether they have a certain buzzword in their marketing brochure.

To choose a good preschool, after narrowing down several that fit your budget, schedule, and commute, schedule a tour. During your visit, talk to the teachers and staff. Observe closely to see if they meet the criteria for the people you want your child to be surrounded with on his early years.

The Reading House is a brainchild of a couple who both loves reading growing up but both had their own share of struggles that went along with it.
