What is the best preschool?
For Paul Valéry and many psychologists, “everything starts in the beginning” . That is to say, it is important not to “miss” the start of your child’s schooling, even if he is only 3 or 4 years old. The school future of a child would already be decided before the age of 6. But the criteria for choosing a good kindergarten are not necessarily the same as for choosing a good high school.
Surrounded by teaching and pedagogical staff who are attentive, patient and specialized in early childhood. The school program , the activities offered and the pedagogy adopted are also important. You may prefer a Montessori pedagogy or, on the contrary, a very classic pedagogy.
You have the choice between a public institution or a private institution. And within private establishments, some are out of contract like Montessori schools or under contract with the State like bilingual or religious schools.
In other major French cities, it is generally private bilingual nursery schools that are popular with parents who want to give their child the best possible keys from kindergarten on:
But make no mistake, public schools can give your child every opportunity. This is why it is better to visit the premises, make an appointment with the educational team and rely on word of mouth to choose a nursery school that will correspond to your child and in which he will flourish.
How to choose a good elementary school?
If kindergarten is important for the smooth running of your child’s schooling, it is especially in the Grande Section. Then, CP and CE1 are essential during fundamental learning : reading, writing and numbers.
As you will have understood, the most important thing in choosing an elementary school is pedagogy , the method of teaching reading and mathematics and above all adaptability to each from CP.
Because if the majority of children learn to read with the syllabic method which makes it possible to decipher all the words, others will be more comfortable with the global, semi-global or mixed method. Choose an elementary school with few students per class (about twenty) and in which the teacher can be helped to accompany each student.
The elementary school setting is also important for your child to feel comfortable there. For example, a playground with green spaces and games is more stimulating and relaxing for your child than an entirely concrete space.
Middle school is a crucial stage in a child’s life. It’s the beginning of adolescence, a period often complicated to manage for a young person. As much to facilitate this transition by choosing a school corresponding to it.
The first criterion we think of when choosing a college is the success rate and the college patent mention rate at the end of the third year. If it is a performance indicator, especially if you look at its evolution over several years, it must also be put into perspective.
Indeed, private colleges will tend to select students who are already good to guarantee a good success rate at the end of the third year. It is therefore a criterion subject to inequalities.
On the other hand, whichever college you choose, you should pay close attention to the atmosphere . This is a complicated figure to quantify, which is why it will be necessary to rely on word of mouth but also on the programs planned by the establishment such as awareness of bullying, disability or racism.
Also take the time to meet the teaching team and certain teachers to find out about their teaching methods and get an idea of their level of involvement in the success of each student. Find out about the educational tools available and the activities offered to young teenagers (school outings, trips, group work, community and cultural life, etc.).
Finally, check the fluidity and quality of the dialogue between you, the teachers and the management. Good communication is essential between the three parties to best support your child and supervise him so that he succeeds in college.
