Intellectual characteristics of learners of:

Preschool and kindergarten

Preschoolers are curious about everything that they see and hear. This is a
great time for caregivers, both parents and teachers, to mold the
children’s minds and encourage them to use their creativity and
imagination. This is also an important time for adults to teach social skills
to help them adapt to a new environment filled with other kids. The world
is widening for preschool kids and it is important for parents and teachers
to give them the encouragement and opportunity to explore their world
and build relationships with others, apart from members of their family.
What do preschool kids need? It is important for parents to know what
their preschooler needs to prepare for kindergarten and the world outside
their homes. When you enroll your little one to a preschool, you need to
make sure that it has everything that will help in developing your child
socially, intellectually and emotionally. Here are some of the things that
preschoolers need to adjust in their new environment:

 Encouragement from parents and teachers to explore and learn.


 A clean and bright preschool environment that makes them feel
comfortable the moment they step in.
 A neat and tidy classroom that has every item in an appropriate
place that will make it easy for the kids to find what they want.
 Social interaction with large and small groups of other little kids.
 Hands-on experience with toys and other items that teach them
something new.
 Toys and games that develop problem solving and manipulative
play skills.
 Equal balance of indoor activities and outdoor playtime.
 Learning to develop their intellectual, cognitive and motor skills
which will be required as they enter kindergarten.
Parents and other adults in preschool children’s lives need to encourage
the little ones to be curious, think on their own and be creative
They’re living in a fantasy world.

Kindergarteners are the center of their own world. Separating real life and
fantasy is still a year or two away. Because of this, children this age often
have irrational fears about things they’ve imagined, such as a monster
under the bed.

What you should do: Be patient and understanding. Don’t dismiss your
child’s fear. It might be silly to you, but it’s very real to her.

They are learning lots of new words in a short time.

Kindergarten is a time of tremendous language growth. Kids listen


closely and use context clues to understanding new words. When that
doesn’t work, most have no problem asking (and asking, and asking, and
asking again).

They like to talk.

Kindergarteners are learning new words and how language works, so it’s
natural that they want to use their new knowledge for themselves.
Sometimes what they say makes little sense to adults, but every time they
open their mouth is a chance for them to learn.

What you should do: Encourage your little one’s talkative nature. Do


activities like singing songs, telling stories, reciting poetry and staging
plays. If your kid is still stuck on one-word answers, it’s normal. Just
keep encouraging and talking with her
