Nursery School – Where Children Learn And Play

The days spend at our nursery school is by far the best days of our lives. Not that we remember every moment spend there, but we have all had our moments there. Now, how do we have moments when we can’t remember much about that time? This is where our parents play an important role; they narrate to us all those wonderful moments that we’ve had at our nursery school or kindergarten school which is more than enough to make us smile or to cherish those wonderful moments.

Let’s talk about our first day at school, I’m sure all of us have cried our lungs out the first day either with fear or with anger. Most kids hate the first day of their school, they need to be bribed with chocolates or a toy or anything that they love. If looked at closely, nursery is the first place for an infant to step into the real world; it is a journey that begins marking our entire life. It is our first step on mother earth where we meet new people and interact. It’s a place where we learn, where we play, where we grow. Once we have finished with our pre-schooling then we are introduced to top schools in India. Let’s discuss more about nursery schools:

History

So, to begin with a nursery school has many other names or rather synonyms, i.e. kindergarten, pre-school, pre-primary and many more. Each country has a different name so to say. The concept of pre-schools was started by Samuel Wilderspin in 1848 but the oldest known concept is of a gurukul, which was the ancient Hindu teaching system. The concept of pre-school was borrowed from it and coined differently. Nursery schools gained popularity in late 1800s and since then has become an important part of the education system.

Teaching

Unlike your schools, nursery schools have an altogether different teaching methodology. Since we all are aware of it being the first stepping stone to a child’s future, we must know that it requires utmost patience and understanding in terms of teaching. Now, since we as kids don’t really enjoy the idea of a preschool for various reasons, be it taking us away from our home, stealing our freedom of playing the entire time, or any such reason, we also tend to start hating schools. Thus, teachers at playschools play a very important role. They must be understanding, loving, caring and patient. Nursery schools aim at developing the child, so that he or she can mould accordingly in the world. It helps us make our foremost friends and we also tend to have few enemies so to say. Kindergarten is a playground where learning is inculcated by way of fun, which is why today each parent understands the importance of a play school.

Nursery schools are of utmost importance because it is where we begin to nurture outside our comfort zones. Every child learns to socialise here, and it’s an important step to their growing years. So, make sure you send your child to a nursery school.
