What the new normal means for preschool learning
Offices, schools, and other establishments have been asked to suspend operations to stop the spread of COVID-19. Academic institutions have been doing online learning to try to stick to the academic calendar. How will the new normal impact preschool learning?
As the world heals from COVID-19, people will have to stay apart physically but grow closer through innovations. For preschool educators, using conferencing and video platforms will be the new normal. They can communicate with parents and students through Microsoft and Google video conferencing or other platforms with a similar purpose, should schools remain closed come the following academic year. If schools resume, PLAY Preschool believes it is best to work with reduced ratios until it is safe to get back to the status quo.
As children reenter preschool, it would be more favorable to work with fewer kids in the classroom to help alleviate feelings of anxiety among teachers, parents, and kids. Doing this will make everyone involved safer as schools reopen. Preschools must consider having the same teachers work with the same kids each day to restrict the number of people bumping into each other, reducing their chance of being exposed to the virus.
PLAY Preschool in Silver Lake, California, believes it would help the cause if group activities are either modified or stopped. The idea is to keep toddlers spread out to limit their contact with others. Teachers will have to take the temperature of students upon arrival to ensure no kid has a fever. Staggered arrival and pick-up schedules must be in place to prevent families from staying in one place at the same time.
PLAY Preschool is a long-time realization of more than 50 years of combined teaching experience from a mother-son duo. It excels in teaching children about the wonders found in and out of the classroom. Head over to this page for more updates.
