Storytelling was part of everyone’s childhood. It’s one of the oldest and purest forms of teaching and gives you, as parents, an opportunity to spend valuable time with your child. At Young Academics, we make a conscious effort to integrate it into your child’s daily routine. In early childhood education, storytelling is not only an effective way of grasping the attention of children but also has many developmental benefits.

When teaching your child life skills, self-regulation doesn’t often come to mind. The focus is usually on gaining independence, finding compassion and learning problem-solving and motor skills.  However, even though self-regulation sounds complex, it can be considered one of the most important techniques for a child to learn, especially in their early childhood. Young Academics has layered techniques and activities into each developmental program to ensure that your child receives a holistic education.

Giving your child a head start in life is one of the most beneficial things you can do. Early learning centres do a fantastic job of ensuring that children get an education that focuses on their cognitive, emotional and social needs in life. It is here that children develop skills and interests that they will use throughout their lives.

Settling your child into daycare can be emotional for both child and parent/guardian. The task of letting go of your child for the first time is difficult enough without having to worry about their comfort and happiness. Though some children settle with ease, others benefit from a few key tips that can make a huge difference in how they cope with the transition.

Educators are often so great at their job because they genuinely love it. They feel the ultimate reward when they form connections with a child which, in turn, contributes to their development.

In light of the challenging times we are currently facing in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, parents/guardians are faced with the important decision to continue to send their children to childcare, or to homeschool. No matter what the decision is, it is essential that children remain intellectually stimulated, interested, occupied and learn at least one new thing every day where possible.

At Young Academics Early Learning Centre, each child’s personal hygiene is of the utmost importance.
From washing and sanitizing hands before and after meals, and regularly throughout the day, to keeping good hygiene throughout all seasons of the year, we place high importance on this aspect throughout the course of the day.
Teaching children good hygiene from a very young age is important as it gets them used to developing good habits that they can sustain as they grow older.

At Young Academics Early Learning Centre, we endeavour to teach our children in fun and exciting ways, which is at the forefront of our unique and holistic approach to learning.
