TIPS FOR PARENTS

Establish a Consistent Routine

Create regular schedules for bedtime, meals, and homework. Predictable routines help children feel secure and ready to learn.

Read Together Daily

Reading to your child every day builds vocabulary, improves listening skills, and fosters a love of books—critical foundations for literacy.

Set High Expectations

Parents help set the course of their child's life. When you model a positive attitude and talk to your child about his/her dreams and future plans, your child learns that education and personal goals are worth striving for.

Build Readiness for the Classroom

Teach your child to be independent by practicing everyday tasks like dressing, using the bathroom, and cleaning up. Role-play social skills like sharing and taking turns to help them succeed in group settings and follow classroom routines.

Foster Curiosity and Learning

Engage your child in conversations, explore nature, do puzzles, or play educational games. Visit local libraries and museums.

Early numeracy (math skills like counting, recognizing patterns)

Count everything (toys, steps, snacks), sort (laundry, toys), sing number songs, point out numbers on clocks, in stores, etc.
