Classes for preschoolers in preparation for school in Moscow, preparatory classes for school for preschoolers in the development center

A necessary condition for the baby to go to first grade with joy and willingness to learn is to write it down to classes for preschoolers preparing for school. Parents should not treat this approach as an unpleasant burden "imposed" by the modern education system. After all, the question is not whether the baby will learn to read and write sooner or later than others.

Preparatory classes for school are aimed primarily at the development of the child, the formation of his personality, the ability to acquire new knowledge, classify and analyze it. Also, work in a team. Preschoolers have great abilities, good memory - and it is important to give each child the opportunity to open up. This is exactly how Montessori teachers work at the Constellation Children's Club. Preschool preparation for preschoolers begins at the age of 4 - of course, you can come to classes at an older age, at 5 or 6 years old. Depending on the age, temperament and character of the child, we will offer an effective program of group or individual lessons. A teacher, a psychologist and a speech therapist take part in the testing.

How is the preparation for school going? Classes for preschoolers last 1.5-2.5 hours, and during this time children have time to master many new concepts:

  • Study a variety of Montessori materials;
  • Play educational games;
  • They learn mathematics and literacy in a playful way;
  • Understand the structure of objects and phenomena.

How to start preparing for school

Any preschool preparation for school involves primarily the development of speech. This is a big problem for today's children. The functioning of the speech center is inextricably linked with the development of fine motor skills. That is why Montessori classes can provide a real speech breakthrough. After all, we have created an ideal environment and materials. In the preparatory classes for school, children draw, sculpt, make applications and create amazing things. At our master classes, kids can cook soap or make a candle, paint glassware. Creativity is the beginning that must be supported and developed in every possible way.

Learning English will be very useful. In our school preparation club, classes for preschoolers are held according to the unique methodology of Valeria Meshcheryakova. It allows the child to acquire a vocabulary of up to 500 words by the first grade. Children learn the language by ear, immediately operating with stable expressions. As a result, they confidently go to the first grade of a language school!

What a preschooler needs to know

Preparatory classes for school instill in the child the skills of analysis and classification, which means that the child will not get confused when solving logical tests and problems upon admission.
