Deciding to send your child to preschool is an important step in the life of both the child and the family. Preschool is not only where basic social and communication skills are learned, but it is also a time that fosters emotional and creative development in children. For parents, being prepared and having a clear role with the school is essential in helping their child succeed during this time.

1. Preparing before sending your child to preschool
Preparation is an important first step in helping children adjust smoothly to a new environment.
- Research and choose the right school: Find out about the school's teaching methods and activities, as well as visit the school to make sure the school meets your child's needs and family expectations.
- Prepare your child mentally: Explain to your child the fun and benefits of attending preschool through stories or simulation activities to help your child become familiar and reduce fear.

2. The role of parents in promoting child development
Parents play an important role in creating a solid foundation for children during preschool.
- Create an environment conducive to learning: Provide a safe and child-friendly reading corner or play area at home to encourage children to develop a love of learning from birth.
- Promote communication and social skills: Encourage children to have opportunities to talk to adults and other children through socializing in various activities both at home and outside the home.
- Support emotional development: Provide love and care, help children learn to control their emotions and build self-confidence.

3. Cooperation with the school: Build strong relationships
Having good cooperation with the school is the key to ensuring that children receive comprehensive care and development.
- Continuous communication: Parents should attend parent-teacher meetings and follow up on their child’s development with teachers regularly. Having an open and honest communication channel will help both parties be aware of problems and find solutions together.
- Participate in school activities: Participating in various activities, whether it’s Children’s Day or special projects, helps parents understand teaching methods and can appropriately enhance their child’s skills at home.
- Share information and knowledge: Exchanging ideas with teachers and other parents will help provide an overview of learning in school and appropriate parenting methods to meet the child’s needs.

4. Preschool Parenting Approaches
Preschool parenting requires a balance between letting your child experiment and providing appropriate guidance.
- Emphasize skills-building activities: Encourage creative activities such as drawing, storytelling, or group work, which will help develop thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Create gentle discipline: Teach your child to understand the rules and responsibilities of daily life, but also be flexible and reward when your child succeeds.
- Give your child an opportunity to express themselves: Listen to your child’s opinions and feelings, so that he or she feels important and part of the family.

Sending your child to preschool is not only opening the door to a new world of learning, but also a time when parents have the opportunity to collaborate with the school to build a solid foundation for their child. Preparation, promotion of development and effective communication between parents and teachers are what help children adapt and grow well in a rapidly changing environment. Cooperation in all sectors will be the key to success in children's future learning and social life.
