Notice Board

Most children start preschool at the age of 2.5 to 3 years. At this age, they begin to develop social, emotional, and basic learning skills that prepare them for formal schooling.

Your child may be ready for preschool if they are around 2.5 to 3 years old and can: Follow simple instructions

• Communicate basic needs (like hunger, toilet, etc.)
• Show curiosity and interest in playing with other children
• Stay away from parents for short periods
• Start doing small tasks like eating or washing hands with help

Every child develops at their own pace, so small delays are normal. If you’re unsure, the school can guide you after a short observation or trial session.

A child who is ready for preschool should be able to separate from a parent or caregiver for a short period without too much distress. It's normal for some children to cry at first, but with gentle support and a consistent routine, most children adjust quickly. Separation is a skill that develops over time.

A preschool-ready child should show interest in being around other children, even if they play side by side (parallel play) rather than directly together. Sharing, taking turns, and simple group activities may take time, but a willingness to be with others is a good sign of readiness.
