New York City preschools are urging parents and their
preschool-attending kids to take a fun detour from their regular schedules and do
something which will help the little ones earn some crucial life experiences
with their parents during holidays.
As people get caught up with their own lives and their work,
they rarely get to spend quality time with their families except for the little
time during and after dinner.
It might not seem like a big deal as people think that when
they put their child to sleep with that bedtime story every night, they are
getting the required one-on-one time with their kids.
In order to make the most of this vital time that we call early
childhood, both families and preschools need to realize that the daily life
experiences do not suffice in helping a child acquire all the necessary life
skills and experiences. These skills and experiences contribute towards
personality development and help in building a sound, happy, positive and
curious mind.
Some New York City preschools are already doing what is
necessary in this matter through their exploratory activities and vacation projects; these projects require the participation of the whole family.
Parents and their preschool-going kids spend an entire day together,
camping, hiking or exploring new places and unknown terrains. The main aim of such
activities is to promote good health, physical resilience as well as to earn great
experiences which have a lingering effect on the minds of the kids.
While the academic, intellectual and cognitive development constitute
the top priority of all New York City preschools, a small fraction of them have
taken their endeavor of effectuating a well-rounded development in young
children to a whole new level through these unconventional vacation projects.
Children can go on nature trails, hiking trips and outdoor
camps with their parents and close family members during their summer break and
experience the other aspect of growing and learning; this aspect of learning
and growing is unstructured, unlike the routine school activities and classes
and is known to promote a more organic growth which influences the child’s
being in a positive way.
