One of the most important parts of childcare is laying the foundation for your child's lifelong learning. To keep them interested and help them remember what you're trying to teach them, make every lesson fun. Preschools and child learning centers often use these principles to help your child get a head start on math, reading, and discovery of all kinds.

What Keeps Preschool Kids Learning?

1. Get Crafty

Colorful and tactile art supplies are exciting for any child.  Not only does making something help them exercise their creativity, but it also gives them a chance to practice fine motor skills that will help them with writing later on. There are all kinds of craft projects that can be tied to math, science, and history subjects.

2. Get Musical

Both children and adults remember information better when it rhymes or is set to music, as you know very well if you've ever gotten a television jingle stuck in your head. Even silly songs can help teach a child to follow directions, and many songs help with counting, colors, and other basic skills. Kids also love the chance to make noise and get their wiggles out after sitting still.

3. Get Moving

Speaking of wiggles, hand and body motions can also help your child stay engaged with the lesson and remember what they learned. Kids can dance, learn hand signs, or play games like Simon Says as part of their preschool education each day. Physical activities can help remove distractions and work as a break for your child, even if they're still learning.
