Toys
Tables
Sleeping mats
Safety is a very important part of a preschooler’s life which may include:
Clean, dry floors
A safe classroom with no harmful surroundings
Toys are safely put away

4. How Parents Can Help With Safety & Cleanliness
Parents can help with safety & cleanliness by:
Having children pick up toys at home
Show them how it is safe to walk in the house
Teach them that being clean helps keep away germs and helps others

5. Nutrition & Exercise
Today, children’s nutrition and exercise have been lacking.
It is important that children learn in school at a young age how nutrition and exercise are a very important aspect of life
Children should also understand how more successful they can be if they eat right and keep fit.

6. How Parents Can Help with Nutrition and Exercise
Parents should show kids how good fruits and vegetables are for them.
They should encourage kids to play outside.
Parents should make sure their children stay fit by signing them up for t-ball, soccer, etc.

7. Sharing
Sharing is an important part of school. Children who can not share have a harder time in school, than those who are more willing to. Teaching is harder when kids do not learn at home to share.

8. How Parents can Help with Sharing
Parents can help encourage sharing by:
Making children share with siblings
Having friends over to play
Sharing their snack with someone
Teaching them that thinking of others is important

9. Learning and Rules
Research has shown that young children need clear & simple rules to be able to carry out the rule.
Children learn best by doing.
Students need good role models to be able to understand rules and learn effectively.

10. How Parents Can Help with Learning and Rules
Parents can help by giving children one step instructions such as, “Go pick up your toys,” instead of “Go pick up your toys and go outside.”
This helps kids learn to do one thing at a time and helps them learn that the rule is to pick up the toys before you can go outside.
Parents should encourage children to listen to their teachers.
