The educational path of a child is an interactive cooperation, and the key partners with whom a child cooperates are the first and the most important teachers of a child, their parents. Formal learning is anchored on the home environment and the involvement of the parent. In Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready, we recognize that parents are not just consumers but are also the ones who construct the educational building of their child. We will equip our parents with the techniques and ideas to make their homes places of rich and happy learning, which will be the logical continuation of our Kinder Ready Tutoring work.
The role of a parent is directly related to the fundamental mission of Kinder Ready Elizabeth Fraley, which is to show the children various learning styles. Although our professional tutors have to offer specialized, skill-based education, parents bring the same learning to the context of everyday experiences. This occurs in the form of basic, deliberate actions: reading stories cooperatively, posing open-ended questions in play, observing nature and transforming ordinary life into counting or sorting games. In doing so, parents expose their children to vocabulary, concepts and problem-solving in real-life situations. This philosophy was led by Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready and supports the fact that education is not an isolated endeavour but an aspect of an inquisitive and active life. The parents can achieve this by demonstrating to their children that learning is a lifelong and enjoyable process.
The major role a parent can have is the most important, which is being the chief confidence-builder. The willingness of a child to take challenges is largely predicted by their faith in themselves. This confidence is made by parents through the support of a safe environment to work towards, praising the persistence rather than perfection, and giving specific and encouraging feedback. Once a child feels secure and at ease at home, they go to any learning environment, be it a Kinder Ready Tutoring session or a kindergarten classroom, with the ability to attempt, fail, and attempt again. This is self-confidence, which is the final objective of our program, because a confident child is an active and happy learner.
At the end of it all, the purpose of parents in education is to be the pull or the constant factor that holds all the different things together in the development of the child. The preparation of a child is holistic by promoting a positive attitude towards learning, establishing a home full of literacy and having an open communication with the educators. It is most effective that the Kinder Ready Tutoring experience happens within this positive parental system. We are a team committed to one thing- raising a child who is not only academically ready to go to school, but has an internal belief and true love of learning that will spur them to achievement throughout a lifetime. Elizabeth Fraley Kinder Ready philosophy is based on this potent collaboration.
