What is a 3 years old child suspose to learn? (Before going to preschool) For all you parents)?

Question

If you have time, what's a 1 year old suspose to learn also?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Start with the alphabet... One good thing I have done is to READ to them every night. I have a daughter that is 3 and she went to preschool this past year. She knew her alphabet by the time she was 3. The other thing that helped her was the Leap Pad I got her. She recognizes all of the letters of the alphabet. She has learned alot from her leap pad. As far as a 1 year old, you can't expect too much, if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to just talk normally to the 1 yr old. Eventually they will pick up what you are saying and they will respond in their own way.

Absolutely nothing! Preschool is where children go to learn all the things they need to know before entering school. (thus the name PRE-school!) While in school your child will learn a lot of things mentioned by others, like their ABC's, writing their name, counting, etc. They will also learn how to share and get along with others, and learn how to be away from home for a little while. All this is to prepare them for formal education in school.

So, don't worry about teaching your children anything to prepare them for preschool. The fact that you are even concerned about this, tells me that you are doing (and will continue to do) everything you can to make sure your children are successful in school! Keep up the good work!

Thank you Itsthelittlethings! Why are we so obsessed with having our children know how to read and write before they start kindergarten or now, preschool! Children learn from playing! Children learn by imitating!
You sing with your children.... sing the alphabet.
You read to your children... they learn their numbers, their letters
Color with your children... they learn small muscle development
Play outside or go to the park with your children... they learn to share, to play with others, to take turns
Play age appropriate games... they learn to take turns

The biggest thing that the preschool is going to want your child to do is, go to the bathroom! Teach your child to do that and you should be pretty much ready for pre-school.

I think the basic thing for a 3 year old is to be fully potty trained so that the teacher doesn't have to deal with that. They need to know how to sit still for brief periods of time and have good listening skills. You could practice the ABC's with them so they are familiar with it.

Answer 5

For kids younger than preschool age, there is really not that much learning going on. They learn their names, maybe thier age, (depends on the child), names of immediate family members, colors, etc. At this age, it is important to read to them and let them explore so that they can gain their own knowledge on their own terms and whatever you do--Do not talk to them with 'baby talk' because they will begin to speak that way.

Answer 6

The basics colors, letters, numbers, name, parents name, shapes etc....Behavior is major and social skills. If they have those the other will follow. A one year old. Start with body parts nose eye etc.. their name. 1-5 red blue a few things.

Answer 7

Everything they can. Of course sing ABC's. Maybe count to 10. How to play nice.

With the 1 y/o just talk. Talk about everything. "Look, there's a stop sign, people stop to take turns" or "This is how Mommy makes a sandwich, first I wash my hands, next, I gather the PB and J, next I get a butter knife, etc"

Just keeping talking and asking questions. One day they'll answer you.

Answer 8

She needs to learn how to get along with others, share, take turns, listen to her teachers. A 3 year old learn most while they are playing so she needs lots of play time with toys that encourage imagination. ( No computers or TV)The one year old just needs to play.

Answer 9

i'm a pre-college instructor for a private college aka no longer daycare and those are the final issues we tutor them... Sounds the letters make (ahh, buhh etc.) colors in English and Spanish Numbers 0 to 10 in English and Spanish Shapes initiating writing skills like tracing the letter worksheets even if for some the theory of purely protecting the writing utensil wisely is the numerous concentration recognizing their names in print cutting and far of it. concentration on protecting and using wisely.

Answer 10

Their name, parents names, ABC's & at least 1-10. Should know how to dial 911 if necessary. 1yr olds should know the meaning of no and how to share and know about bedtime.
