How Does an International Preschool Experience Benefit Children?
If you are planning to give your child a head start in life, beginning with a premier international preschool would be an ideal choice. You may wonder what the significant difference is between a regular preschool and an international one. But in a world that is increasingly becoming smaller, exposing the children to diverse cultures and globally renowned curricula can help advance their academic progress and uncover remarkable opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible.
The advantages of international preschools are myriad including cultivation of open-mindedness and inclusivity, cross-cultural communication skills, early language acquisition, building empathy and understanding, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, fostering global friendships, the positivity of experiencing cultural diversity in such preschools, and encouraging pre-learning readiness at a global level.
Here are a few compelling reasons why you should consider an international preschool experience to accelerate your child’s learning:
1. Globally Acclaimed Pedagogy
While different schools have their distinct approaches, we at Dibber create opportunities for children to explore, wonder, and learn in a physically stimulating environment. Our approaches to learning ensure that children learn in a self-guided, flexible, and adaptable environment.
The play-based approach integrates play into every activity that a child does. The idea is for them to have so much fun doing that they don’t even realize they are learning.
The interactive approach promotes cooperation and collaboration with peers. Afterall, we all want our children to be confident social butterflies.
The holistic approach focuses on engaging their bodies and stimulating their senses. Children love to exhibit mastery and independence, and we need to support their efforts.
The Dibber childhood is rooted in its proven pedagogy that helps children grow into the best versions of themselves.
2. Emphasis On Skill Development
Academic excellence is only one part of the preschool experience. The focus is always on all-rounded development, which means essential life skills are given equal importance, if not more. The early years are known to be the best to hone social and emotional skills. Children are naturally self-aware and show signs of empathy. In the right environment, these skills can be further strengthened, and children can thrive in a place with positivity and collaboration.
3. Cultural Immersion
What better way to introduce children to the beauty in diversity than in an international educational setting? They will likely meet peers from diverse backgrounds or nationalities. Imagine what a melting pot of different cultures your child is inspired by every day. Dibber preschools and nurseries in Poland are bilingual, which means your child could be proficient in at least 2 languages before the age of seven.
4. Application Over Retention
Traditional early childhood educational systems focused more on memorizing and retaining. For instance, preschoolers would recite the English alphabet several times until it became muscle memory. However, international preschool curriculums are more about application. If a child knows how letter ‘A’ sounds and associates it with an ‘apple,’ it is more likely that the child will be able to make connections, draw parallels, and understand why they are learning the letter ‘A.’
Dibber International Preschools and Nurseries is a splendid example of a top-notch international institution. With a global network of 600+ established preschools in 10 countries, our Nordic roots and Scandinavian education model allows children to have a taste of the global with their feet strongly rooted in the local. As parents, we want the best for our children. Therefore, it is worth making their entry into formal education a world-class one.
