It can be difficult to keep your little one engaged at home and know how to reinforce the preschool curriculum they\u2019re learning in school. Everything from busy schedules to not knowing where to start can be obstacles. What\u2019s important to remember is that keeping your child plugged in to what they\u2019re being taught inside the classroom doesn\u2019t have to be complex or difficult. It just needs to be intentional! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five ways to keep your child engaged with learning when\nthey\u2019re at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Ask questions about what they\u2019re learning in preschool.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the most effective ways to ensure that you\u2019re keeping your\nchild engaged with what they\u2019re learning is by asking them questions! Ask about\nwhat they\u2019re being taught in school and dare to take it one or two steps\nfurther. Ask them what they love to learn about and what subject has been\ndifficult for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a parent, one of the best ways to keep your child locked in to\nwhat they\u2019re learning is to ask the right questions and assure them that you\nare interested in what they\u2019re learning in school. When your child sees that you\u2019re\ninterested in what they\u2019re being taught, it makes them more interested too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make it fun!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important that your child believes that learning is fun! Try\ncoming up with some creative and exciting ways to keep them engaged at home. It\ncould be a craft, a project, an interactive workbook, or a game. You could even\nhave them set up a make-believe preschool if they wanted! Allow them to be the\nteacher and you play the role of the student. They will love being able to\n\u201cteach\u201d you all about their preschool curriculum, all while exercising their\nimagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Explore outside.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Getting outside and using nature to keep your kids engaged with\ntheir education is a great idea! It allows them to do something different and\nmore interactive than what they might be used to. If they\u2019re learning about\ncolors, ask them to identify the different colors they see outside (green\ntrees, blue skies, white clouds). If it\u2019s counting or numbers they\u2019re learning,\nget creative by having them count the number of cars that drive by or birds\nthey see in the sky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying plugged in to your child\u2019s preschool curriculum does not\nmean they have to be confined to the indoors. There\u2019s so much learning they can\ndo right in their backyard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Read to them.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One of the most practical yet effective ways to keep your\npreschooler engaged with what they\u2019re learning is to read to them. Reading to\nyour child has multiple benefits<\/a>! Hearing\nyou read out loud helps them with word recognition and understanding how to\npronounce letters. Also, slowing down to read to them is a great way to spend\nquality time together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, one of the best ways parents have bonded with their\nchildren is through the books that they read to them at bedtime. Your child\nneeds to know that, not only do you care about their education, but you also\nvalue spending time with them. Through reading to them and eventually with<\/em> them, you are creating lasting\nmemories all while engaging them with their preschool curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Allow their brain to rest.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Weekends were made for rest! While it is important that you keep\nyour child engaged with what they\u2019re learning in preschool, don\u2019t forget to\nallow their little brain to relax. Implementing a good balance between the two\nis key. They\u2019ve worked hard and soaked up a lot of information all week, so\nit\u2019s okay to allow them to have a break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have fun with them, play with them, and laugh with them! Make sure\nthat they know that not everything has to be about learning and school and that\nthey can still have tons of fun with you on the weekends. While they value you\nbeing engaged with their education, they value getting to have quality time\nwith you even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not always easy balancing the craziness of life on the\nweekends and remaining constant with your child\u2019s preschool curriculum, but\nthese five steps are a great place to start! Asking them questions lets them\nknow that you care. Making it fun allows them to think outside of the box.\nGetting outdoors helps them to explore the world around them. Reading to them\ncreates simple yet lasting memories. And allowing them to rest gives their\nlittle brains a much needed break! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
