Importance of Preschool Educational Tools

 

Preschool teachers’ skills play a major role in shaping early childhood education. The few years of preschool education lay the foundation for child education.

 

Teachers must be passionate about teaching. They must apply effort in planning lessons and guiding children through their learning journey. A preschool curriculum is a guiding light. Teachers must make it fun, engaging, interactive, and easy for children to absorb.

 

Being a teacher comes with a responsibility. They must handle many tasks. This includes handling a class of children, while also finding the most engaging and effective way to teach the curriculum.

 

To effectively accomplish this, teachers can use several tools. These tools range from tangible learning materials to academic tools, and even technology-based ones.

 

1. Hands-On Learning Materials

 

Hands-on educational materials include objects. This allows children to touch, move, and explore under teacher supervision. These tools help build a learning lab. This promotes a sensory experience that aids fine motor and cognitive skill development.

Puzzles

 

Learning materials such as puzzles help children to identify and explore different shapes, sizes, and materials. It also helps children develop hand-eye coordination. Teachers can implement learning through these learning materials.

2. Sensory Tools

 

As the name suggests sensory tools, focus on developing children’s senses. This includes sight, smell, hearing, and touch. A multitude of materials can help achieve this. Teacher training provides teachers with the best techniques that can be used with material aids.

Smelling Bottles

 

Part of developing a child’s sensory skills requires olfactory development. This is the sense of smell and identification of scents. Teachers can create exciting and engaging sensory experiences by adding scented products to these bottles.

 

Children can then smell the product through the holes at the top of the bottle. Lessons involving smelling bottles help children develop their sense of smell and identify certain objects based on smell.

3. Literacy Tools

 

Developing literacy skills in children is essential in delivering effective early childhood education. Teachers can use the following tools to help in teaching literacy to children.

Academic Books

With the help of academic material including books and posters, teachers can offer an age-appropriate introduction to vocabulary and storytelling.

 

Depending on the age of the children, teachers can get academic materials specific to the child’s education levels:

• LKG (Lower Kindergarten)
• UKG (Upper Kindergarten)
• Class 1
• Class 2

 

Wall Displays

 

Wall displays showing letters of the alphabet and objects starting with the letter help in the identification of letters and even objects. Charts can also be displayed to teach children vowels and consonants. These help teachers introduce early literacy to children visually and engagingly.

4. Numeracy Tools

 

The importance of Maths in early years cannot be stressed enough. Teaching Mathematics to children starts with instilling the basic concepts of numeracy. This includes counting, number identification and naming, addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.

Number/Counting Cards

 

Number and counting cards are effective educational tools for teachers to teach numeracy skills. Visual aids such as large numbered cards help children to count and associate numbers with the corresponding picture. These cards help children to recognise patterns.

 

Kreedo’s early numeracy educational tools make learning mathematics fun and easier. Is your preschool using them yet? If not it’s time to Upgrade Your Preschool with Keedo.

Multiplication & Division Board

 

These learning materials make use of a practical approach to numeracy. They allow children to garner a hands-on approach to developing mathematical skills such as multiplication and division. Teachers can use them to make learning these skills easier and more engaging.

Wall Displays

 

Mathematics charts can be found in the form of wall displays. Hanging them up in the classroom or learning lab fosters learning through this visual aid. Children will have the opportunity to look at these displays to learn at any time of the day.

5. Technology-Based Educational Tools

 

Digital tools can help teachers enhance the learning experience by acting as an enabler. The use of technology in early education provides numerous benefits to the education sector, including preschools.
