Age eligibility for child in preschool has reduced
The dissemination of joint family system has lead to the decreased age of child admitted in preschool. Earlier mothers used to be with the child for most of the time giving them no scope to indulge in school at a very young age. But today, the scenario has changed with nuclear families and working mothers. All this has reduced the mother-child time. The only solution parents find is to get their child enrolled at preschool.
Parent’s involvement in education plays a pivotal role in increasing the quality of education. The involvement can be in both education and daily tasks. Only parent involvement helps the child to shape their academic self concept. Preschool teachers guide parents in this process and for this the parents also need training. Unless the parents and teachers join hands in this endeavour the child may not reap the complete benefits of education.
