If we joyfully teach them how to include healthy exercise from the early stages of their development, we will be giving our children a gift that will endure throughout their lives.

the education industry and the way it functions, in India as well as several
other countries around the world. The pandemic might fundamentally alter the
course of our education system from this point in time onwards. It has forced
us to rethink everything about the way we teach and learn. While we are
grateful to have so many online communication tools at our disposal, the transition
from regular on-campus schooling to online schooling is not without its own
challenges.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: "book antiqua", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It is important to note
that, as preschool educators, the Tots approach still revolves around the child.
We want children to become the best versions of themselves. We not only want to
fully engage them during the online learning process, but also engage families
even more meaningfully, because learning is now happening right in the confines
of our homes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: "book antiqua", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The responsibilities of
teachers and parents have not changed, but how we carry them out certainly has.
We are being called to become more creative, flexible, organized, and open to
learning than ever before. We have all been forced to learn how to use online
collaboration tools, irrespective of whether we are comfortable with technology
or not. Educational content creation and curation for preschoolers has become
even more critical. We at Trio Tots, take care to craft our educational content
in a way that the concept being taught is put across in an accurate and fun way,
even via an online platform. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: "book antiqua", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Learning does not happen
during the sessions alone, but beyond them too. Being prepared adequately for
the classes will enable the parent and child make the most of the classes. Here
are some points that can help parents, help their children better with their
online learning sessions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of our most important duties as parents and teachers of
preschool children is to let our little ones know how much we love them and
care about them. Children must know that they are cherished for who they are,
rather than their academic achievements. Our tots love coming to preschool every
day and here is why.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Starting off the day right. <o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the most wonderful practices ingrained in the Trio
culture is that of greeting everyone, staff or visitors, whom we meet with joy
and from a place of authenticity. We extend the same to our children. Every
morning, the entrance of Tots has a team of about 6 to 7 of our amazing
teachers, waiting to welcome our children. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tots offers the <a href="https://www.trio-tots.com/" target="_blank">Best Playgroup in Bangalore</a>, Nursery, Kindergarten I & II,
apart from day-care. Once we welcome our tots into the school, it is time to
welcome them into each of their classes! The morning greeting ritual happens in
an age appropriate way, starting with nursery. Nursery teachers welcome our
children with a puppet, making it fun and joyful for our young ones! KG I
starts off the day with a peppy song for our kids, that teachers and children
enjoy alike. KG II makes it more interesting by electing one child each day, who
hi-fives her/his classmates as they enter their respective classrooms.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
A community where we care about each other<o:p></o:p></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the start of the day, our teachers and kids alike look
out for those who were absent on the previous day(s). Together we ask a
previously absent child why they could not make it to preschool, letting them
know that we take notice and we care. Our children care about teachers too,
making sure that they ask them why they were not present on a certain day. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TRIO Tots’ welcoming ritual has become an indispensable part
of our day, irrespective of how busy our days are. We will not miss it for
anything! To find out what other special things Trio Tots does, visit us at <a href="https://www.trio-tots.com/">https://www.trio-tots.com</a> or drop into

First Open day!! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Parent-teacher meeting plays a vital role in your child’s
schooling life. At the start of each new school year, parents are invited to a
parent teacher meeting. This is an opportunity for parents to meet the person
their child is going to be spending a large portion of their time with, not to
mention all the formative educational and social input this person will
provide.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aside from imparting pertinent information regarding the
curriculum and classroom structure, the idea is for you and the teacher to
form a team – a partnership that works together for the benefit of your child.</div>

Nursery children have started coming to school without the parents
and Playgroup are yet to start. I am sure all parents are still worried
about the settling of their child in the new environment. <br />
Transition
from home to preschool can be easy for some children and difficult for
some. Every child is different and his or her ability to adjust in a new
environment differs.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U-H2HVKlXCk/WyCOq94A5sI/AAAAAAAAA8M/u8BsjeV8oq0Xfx0JKzX1n4Z47bMBur3fACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_6350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-U-H2HVKlXCk/WyCOq94A5sI/AAAAAAAAA8M/u8BsjeV8oq0Xfx0JKzX1n4Z47bMBur3fACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_6350.JPG" width="320" /></a>To make this transition easy, Ms. Greshma Momaya (Head of <a href="http://www.trio-tots.com/" target="_blank">Tots</a>) suggests some tips for parents.<br />
<br />
1.Be well informed – Please make sure you are well informed about the
routines and environment of the school. So please make sure you attend
the Orientation and read the parent manual shared by the school.<br />
<br />
2.
Develop interest for school - Give an idea of what her preschool days
will be like. Build an interest in them by talking about the activities
and the play time that they are going to have. Assure them that it’s
going to be a party all through; making new friends and new toys and
plenty of activities.<br />
<br />
3. Play teacher – teacher – Pretend plays
are good to give an idea about the school. Take turns being the teacher,
parent and child. Practice saying good-byes, eating snack from plate
etc. Sing rhymes or read stories together as a part of this preschool
pretend play.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X6Tz_vBZ5NE/WyCOf6e9r8I/AAAAAAAAA8I/JeCjvWUFYTYG7_b7hIrKrqm5HhwLQUwLwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_6297.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="213" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X6Tz_vBZ5NE/WyCOf6e9r8I/AAAAAAAAA8I/JeCjvWUFYTYG7_b7hIrKrqm5HhwLQUwLwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_6297.JPG" width="320" /></a>4. Trust the school & teacher – Most children
cry when they start schooling. When the child cries, you shouldn’t sho<br />
w
tension or stress. When you show tension, your child will also feel
tensed. Instead give them an assurance that they are safe in preschool
and you will be coming to pick them up soon. If you start trusting the
school, your child will start trusting school and settle faster. Also
avoid asking question to teachers about your child as your child is,
listening and sensing it. Keep calm; teacher will share the necessary
information with you.<br />
<br />
5. Short goodbyes - The longer the
goodbye, the longer the settling period. Keep it short and simple.
Assure them that you will be back soon to pick them from school or he
will be home soon to be with his parents. A good bye kiss or a hug is
enough with a happy face is enough.<br />
<br />
6. Eating & toileting –
Most children do not use washroom or eat till they emotionally settle
with the school. It is ideal to make them wear diapers initially till
they start telling their need preferences to the teachers. It is
perfectly fine if child is not eating in school, give them some time.
Please make sure your child eats something before and after the school.<br />
<br />
Actually if parents settle child will also settle. I hope these
tips help all our parents and children in settling in the new
environment. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Are you asking your child the right questions when

<span class="s1"><span lang="EN-US" style="border: none 1.0pt; font-family: "book antiqua" , "serif"; padding: 0cm;">Generally children respond to these questions in one or two words.

they make any new friends?

Your child’s teachers want the best for your child and are a valuable source of knowledge about your child’s development. Once the preschool term begins, an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers at a parent-teacher meet or another setting, usually presents itself. At Trio Tots <a href="https://www.trio-tots.com/hsr-layout.php" target="_blank">Preschool HSR Layout</a>, Bangalore, meetings and one-on-ones are scheduled at regular intervals, to help parents stay up to date.</h3>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;">It helps to prepare for a meeting by deciding what you would like to learn about your child and her/his education. Your meetings will set the tone for your relationship with your child’s preschool teacher. Even if your child goes to a daycare centre, the centre’s staff can give you useful information about your child’s behaviour, preferences and development.</span></div>

<div class="entry-summary">
Does the idea of a parent-teacher meeting worry you?
It shouldn’t. This handy checklist will help you know exactly what to
expect at the next one.<br />
</div>
You and your child’s school have something in common: You
both want your child to learn and do well. What better way to assess
that than the periodic parent teacher meeting arranged by the school?<br />
As the Dussera holidays are round the corner, every school will conduct parent teacher meetings (often referred to as the <span class="caps">PTM</span>). Being in this field for so many years now, I generally observe parents getting stressed and nervous about the <span class="caps">PTM.</span>
If the focus remains on what is best for the child, then all should end
well. Like all conversations, parent teacher meetings are best when
both sides talk and listen. These meetings promote open discussion and
keep parents informed of their child’s progress. <br />
As a parent, you’ll likely find out how well your child adapts to
social situations, to the class itself and how well he/she completes
projects or assignments. Parent-teacher conferences are a valuable
assessment tool for parents. As a parent, you are your child’s first
and most important teacher. <br />
When parents and teachers talk to each other, each person can share
important information about your child’s talents and needs. Each person
can also learn something new about how to help your child. This tip
sheet suggests ways that you can make the most of parent-teacher
conferences so that everyone wins, especially your child.<br />
<h2>
Here are some tips for Parents</h2>
<h4>
1. Know about the <span class="caps">PTM </span>& be there</h4>
Most schools in India have their 1st term parent teacher meetings in
the month of October or November. These dates are announced either at
the beginning of the year or at least one month ahead. We know parents
are busy, but it is important to carve out time to invest in your
child’s education and ensure success at school. Please mark your
calendar and be there for the <span class="caps">PTM.</span> Make sure both the parents attend the <span class="caps">PTM.</span><br />
<hr />
<h4>
2. Talk with your child </h4>
Ask your child what his/her strongest and weakest subjects are, and
which subjects he/she likes most and least. Ask your child if he/she
would like you to speak about anything in particular with the teacher.
Make sure that your child understands that you and the teacher are
meeting to help him, so that he doesn’t worry about the conference.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
3. Prepare a list of notes</h4>
Make a list of topics that you want to discuss with the teacher and
that you think the teacher should know, such as your concerns about the
school, the child’s home life, any major changes in your family, habits,
hobbies, part-time jobs, religious holidays, or anything that is
worrying your child. Be sure to ask for input from your spouse or other
adults that are caring for your child as well.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
4. Prepare a list of questions like below</h4>
How is my child doing socially? Do not stick just to academics. This
one question actually asks a lot of questions. By asking the teacher
this you can find out a lot of things. Knowing if your child is doing
okay socially is so important. Social development helps form who we
become and you want to make sure your child develops proper social
behaviour.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
5. What do you feel are my child’s strengths and weaknesses? </h4>
This is another important question that asks more than one. You will
find out where your child’s strengths are academically and what they
enjoy to do. These are two very different things. The teacher may say
your child excels in science and loves reading and art. This can help
you encourage your child both academically and in creativity. By knowing
what your child’s weaknesses are you can help at home to strengthen
their abilities in that subject.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
6. How is My Child Doing Emotionally?</h4>
It’s also important to ask about your child’s emotional health at school. For example, is your child generally happy?<br />
<hr />

</blockquote>
<h4>
7. In what Areas Does My Child Need Improvement? </h4>
Your child’s teacher sees him from a different perspective than you
do. Ask the teacher what personal weaknesses your child needs to work
on, and listen to the response with an open mind.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
8. Is My Child Doing His /Her Best?</h4>
No matter where your child ranks in relation to grade-level, one
important analysis of his performance is whether he’s putting forth his
best effort. Does the teacher get the sense that your child is slacking
off or not focusing?<br />
<hr />
<h4>
9. Is my child participating in class discussions and activities?</h4>
This question will answer many questions about the child’s confidence, presence of mind and self esteem.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
10. Does My Child Need Extra Help in Any Areas?</h4>
Your child’s teacher can tell you if your child is falling behind in
a skill or a subject. Armed with that information, you can create a
plan with your child to work harder in that area, before it gets too
late.<br />
<hr />
<h4>
11. What Can We Do to Provide That Extra Help?</h4>
Work with your child’s teacher to create a plan to help your child
progress well in school. There may be specific things that you can do at
home to help; the teacher might give you some ideas. <br />
Stay calm during the conference. Respectful communication will be the
most effective way to work together with your child’s teacher. Getting
angry or upset during the conference will make it very difficult to have
a positive conversation.<br />
Ask for explanations of anything you don’t understand . Listen
carefully to what the teacher says. If you don’t understand something
that the teacher talks about (such as an educational term or an
explanation of a school policy), don’t be afraid to ask for
clarification. It is important for you to understand what your child’s
teacher is telling you.<br />
Ask the most important questions early in the conference ,as you may
run out of time, especially if other parents are waiting to have their
conference after yours. You can always schedule another meeting with the
teacher to cover any points you didn’t cover.<br />
Respectfully discuss differences of opinion . If you disagree with
the teacher, respectfully explain why you disagree. If you don’t let the
teacher know about your differences of opinion, the teacher may think
that you agree and will move on to the next topic. Discussing your
differences with the teacher may help both of you find a more effective
way to help your child.<br />
Create an action plan . Ask your child’s teacher for specific
suggestions of ways that you can help your child at home with homework,
reading, organization, routines, behavioral issues, etc. Make sure you
understand the teacher’s suggestions, and ask for clarification if you
don’t. <br />
This list of suggestions will become the action plan. Establish a way
to keep track of the child’s progress, as well as the best way to stay
in touch with your child’s teacher — through phone calls, emails, notes,
or meetings. Review the action plan with the teacher as you end the
conference to make sure that you both have the same expectations.<br />
Stay in touch with the teacher.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.” — Emilie Buchwald<br />
</blockquote>
For children to start reading, parents have to first understand how
to teach reading to kids. First step to reading is understanding the
sounds of each letter. You can refer to this article for more details on
sounds <a href="http://www.buzzingbubs.com/articles/fun-phonics-activities-for-kids" target="_blank">Learning Phonics the fun way at home</a><br />
The second step is blending of words. <strong>Blending</strong> is
the process of saying the individual sounds in a word, then running them
together to make the word. For example: sounding out /b/-/a/-/t/ making
bat. It is a technique every child will need to learn and it improves
with practice.<br />
We will start with blending of <span class="caps">CVC </span>words (consonant-vowel-consonant). As the name suggests, <span class="caps">CVC </span>words are made up of two consonants and one vowel. The vowel is found between two consonants.<br />
To start with you should sound out the word and see if a child can
hear it, giving the answer if necessary. The sounds must be said quickly
to hear the word. It is easier if the first sound is said slightly
louder.<br />
Once the children can hear the word when an adult says the letter
sounds, they are ready to try saying the sounds for themselves and
listen to the word.<br />
The children who can hear the words understand how the alphabetic
code works for reading. They realize that it is something they can work
out for themselves. This knowledge fascinates them and their confidence
grows.<br />
<h2>
Let us look at some fun activities on blending <span class="caps">CVC </span>words</h2>
<h3>
1. Walk the word</h3>
<br />

One of our favorite ways to play with phonics is the <em>Walk the Word</em>
game! Children get to use their whole body to practice identifying and
blending sounds together. Adding the gross motor aspect to it helps
children to internalize the process of sounding out a word.<br />
<h4>
How to play</h4>
This game is simple to set up and easy to play! All you need is a
sidewalk chalk and a place to draw. Write easy decodable
(sound-out-able), very large words on the concrete. Ask the child to
start at the side you start reading at. Then have them step on each
letter and say the sound. Prompt them or give them the sounds if needed
(this is a game not a test) and have fun walking and reading the words!<br />
<h3>
2. Flipchart</h3>
<br />
Image courtesy: <a href="http://www.kidsactivitiesblog.com/" target="_blank">kidsactivitiesblog</a><br />
<strong>Materials:</strong><br />
3 small size spiral diaries<br />
A card board<br />
Glue<br />
Markers<br />
<h4>
How to play</h4>
Stick the 3 diaries on the cardboard. On the first and third diary
write all the consonants, on the second diary write all the vowels. Let
children flip the pages and read the word. The point of the phonics
flipchart is not so much to “spell” words, but to practice sounding out
words. “P-A-G” is not a word, but the practice of sounding it out can
help our children in future words, helping them grasp the concept of
letters and how they form words.<br />
<h3>
3. Cube game</h3>
Take the printout of the printable cube. Follow the instructions
given on the page to form a cube. First roll the cube with initial
sound, then the middle vowel and at last final sound. Ask the child to
now sound out the word.<br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/cvc/print/soundcat/cube1.shtml" target="_blank">Initial sound</a><br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/cvc/print/soundcat/cube3.shtml" target="_blank">Middle vowel</a><br />
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/wordsandpictures/cvc/print/soundcat/cube2.shtml" target="_blank">Final sound</a><br />

<strong>Materials:</strong><br />
Paper towel roll, dry cleaner hanger, scissors and a marker.<br />
<h4>
How to play</h4>
Cut your paper towel roll into sections. Write the ending sound of a
word on a section. Now write letters or the first sounds of words on
another piece of cut tube. You can throw in some weird ones that will
not make words, to get some giggles, too. Pull out one end of the hanger
from the bar. Slide your tube pieces on and replace the hanger end back
inside the bar. Now your child can spin the first letter (or sound) of
the word to make different words.<br />
<h3>
6. Play I spy</h3>
Play a new variation to the children’s favourite game. Play <em>I spy</em> by sounding out the name of the object you are looking at. Children have to blend the sounds together to determine the object.<br />
For example: I spy something that is moving. I spy a /c/ /a/ /t/<br />
I spy something that is spread on the floor. I spy a /m/ /a/ /t/<br />
For most of the children it is relatively easy. However some children
find it difficult and need to be taught exactly what to do. There are
two main reasons for a child not being able to hear the word when they
have said the sounds.<br />
They do not know the letter sounds well enough. As soon as they see a
letter, the sound should come automatically to them. If they have to
pause to think, they lose track of the word. To put this right, it is
necessary to revise the sounds regularly with children.<br />
The way the letter is emphasized by the children. The emphasis should
be on the first letter sound. If the child puts emphasis on the last
letter sounds, they may try to start the word with those sounds and fail
to hear the word.<br />

<div class="entry-summary">
Speaking out sounds and words is at the heart of
phonics, and it is therefore a simple and straightforward way of
teaching that you can use confidently at home. You could introduce the
sounds one at a time.<br />
</div>
As a <a href="https://www.trio-tots.com/" target="_blank">Preschool</a> Educator, I observe parents often
wondering why their children are not articulating the name of the letter
and reciting some weird sounds. That’s Phonics! Phonics is basically
the sound and letter association. Letter names don’t always sound the
same as the actual sounds.<br />
<br />
For instance, the letter name for “P” is pronounced with a long E sound
after the letter sound: we say ‘pee’, but that’s not the same as the
letter sound which is /puh/.<br />
Many children find this difference confusing. So, instead of trying
to teach the two sounds at the same time, it is helpful to focus on
teaching the letter sound first. Speaking out sounds and words is at the
heart of phonics, and it is therefore a simple and straightforward way
of teaching that you can use confidently at home. You could introduce
the sounds one at a time.<br />
<h2>
Given below is a peek through various activities with which you can reinforce each sound.</h2>
<h2>
1. Letter hunt</h2>
Tell the sound of the letter which you are introducing, now ask your
child to repeat the sound and find the letter associated with sound. You
can ask your child to highlight the letter.<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Form the letter</h2>
You can first start forming the letter with dough/pasta/noodles/flour
and ask your child to say the sound of the letter. Then you can say the
sound and ask your child to form the letter.<br />

3. Action words</h2>
When you are doing your house chores activities, try and say out the
sound and word while doing it like all action words. For e.g.- /s/ /s/
sit<br />
<br />
Boil, cut, dirt, exercise, fun, give, hold, invite, join, keep, little,
make, need, open, push, quick, roll, send, turn, under, visit, wait,

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">At <a href="http://trio-tots.com/hsr-layout.php" target="_blank">Trio Tots</a>, HSR Layout, we have
created an approach that brings together a winning combination of several
highly respected and proven models.The <i>Multiple Intelligence theory</i> by
Howard Gardner states that children possess eight different types of intelligence
in varying levels. The teaching is tailored to enhance each of those
intelligences in a child. Maria Montessori’s <i>Montessori method</i> is also
incorporated in our methods. This approach fosters respect for individual
differences , self-motivated & child centered learning, cooperative play,
hands-on learning and independence. <i>The Play way & Kindergarten Method</i>
by Friedrich Froebel encourages life centred learning through doing, amidst an
atmosphere of freedom. <i>The Waldorf Method </i>by Rudolf Steiner places emphasis
on imagination, arts & crafts of all kinds.
Reverence for nature,
celebration of the seasons and outdoor play are important aspects of this
approach.</span></div>

education is a phase where your child learns to gradually step into a whole new
world away from her/his family.S/he will find new companions among classmates
and teachers. Preschool education sets a stage for their future educational
milestones. At Trio Tots Preschool, Sahakar Nagar and HSR Layout early math
skills are taken very seriously. We carefully lead our little ones through
their crucial early milestones. It is never too early to introduce children to
the fantastic world of mathematics.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">Math
is found in surprisingly many facets of a typical day. The distance walked from
the bus stop to home, the number of oranges bought from the market and the
price of a toy can all be expressed as numbers. Laying down a strong foundation
for maths during the early years of their education can have a large number of
benefits. Often mathematics has been tagged as ‘hard’ or ‘challenging’ early
on. Planting such a seed in children’s minds might fill them with hesitation
and dread towards the beautiful subject of Mathematics. Introducing kids to
mathematical concepts in a systematic and age-appropriate manner will help them
become comfortable with math and pave way for the learning of more complex
theories. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
