Every parent wants their child to lead a happy and successful life. During their years in your home, you want them to excel in school and sports, to have great friends, and to be respectful to adults, teachers, and employers. Once they become adults, you wish your child every success in life, employment, relationships, family, and happiness.
How do you give your child their best future? Some would suggest that an early childhood education program will give your child the keys they need to an overall successful future. Here’s why:
Educating a Whole Person
Successful education isn’t knowing random history and math facts or a perfect SAT or ACT score. Education should encompass the training of the whole person. Noah Webster defined education as:
“The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.”
Education should address not only academics, but also the child’s character, morals, values, and manners. Training a child rightly in these areas will give the child their best future.
As Webster’s definition indicates, the primary responsibility for this rests in the hands of parents and guardians. Parents and guardians should take this responsibility seriously: you are shaping another person’s life!
At Penguin Crossing Academy, we take the education of children seriously. We not only seek to give children an excellent early childhood education, but also help them grow in their social skills and manners so they have the life skills they need for a successful life.
Academics
Penguin Crossing Academy’s early childhood education program gives children an excellent foundation in academic knowledge. Children will learn their colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and more. They will also be introduced to basic math and reading concepts, and have plenty of exposure to arts and crafts. Knowing these skills is essential to springboard them into a successful academic career!
Social Skills
While early childhood education programs tend to push academics as the primary purpose, social skills are actually essential life skills. We all know highly-intelligent people who lack the people skills to be happy in life. Why? Their relationships are poor! Some of these social skills stem back to toddlerhood.
Toddlers who learn life skills like kindness, sharing, and conflict resolution generally turn into adults who are kind, generous, and peaceful. These values were instilled in them early, and those early habits stick with them for the rest of their life.
At Penguin Crossing Academy, our caring staff help every child learn the valuable skills of social etiquette, empathy, kindness, sharing, and conflict resolution. Children get extra opportunities to practice these skills, which increases proficiency.
Future Success
Enrollment in early childhood education can have the following benefits for future success:
- Higher academic grades
- More likely to graduate from high school
- Higher earning potential and employment salary
- Reduced likelihood of criminal activity
- Better mental and physical health outcomes
All of these benefits will help your child have the greatest overall success in their lifetime.
