1. Preschool Checklist: 4 Elements of a Good School
The first few years are very important for a child in what he actually
becomes. It is during this time social, mental and emotional development
takes place. Consequently during these formative years if a child
discovers joy of learning and completes age appropriate tasks, it is very
likely that the child will fare well academically as he progresses in his
educational ladder. In such a scenario besides the education at home,
education at preschool also acquires a much greater importance.
Be it a Preschool or a Senior Secondary School, there are a few elements
that can make a school different from the others. These are:
 Classroom Atmosphere
 Supportive Teachers
 Safety
 Academic Engagement
Classroom Atmosphere
Atmosphere can be defined as the pervading tone or mood of a place. The
preschool children leave the comfortable environs of their home and go
to school but if they find the classroom scenario unnerving, it is very
likely, they will create a lot of raucous in the school. Thus it becomes
necessary that the classrooms are large, airy and well–lit. Moreover
there should be sufficient space for the children to move around
without knocking each other down and also a clearly demarcated area
for various activities for the children. The activity corner should be
attention catching with an attractive display of materials for tearing
and pasting, colouring, craft material etc. Preschoolers are greatly
attracted towards the toys and thus it is imperative that the school
should have a great assortment of toys and most importantly toys
catering to both girls and boys. The toys will serve the twin purpose of
letting the children have fun and at the same develop social and gross
and fine motor skills. Another aspect of comfortable classroom
atmosphere is the age appropriate fixtures i.e. the class furniture
requisite to the child’s need. Thus, a suitable classroom environment
is one of the necessary elements of a good school as it helps a child
get adjusted to the school and the other children in the school where
they begin to work, eat and socialize with assurance and self
independence.
Supportive Teachers
One of the most key features of any school is its teaching staff. A healthy
and supportive relationship that a teacher shares with her/his taught is
the hallmark of a good school. The desired support can only be provided

2. if the teacher –student ratio in the class is as per the set standards and
ASPAM Preschool is one such best schools in Noida that follows the
standardised teacher-student ratio. We at APAM Preschool understand
that preschool is the beginning of a student’s scholastic journey and
proper, equal and undivided attention needs to be given to all the
students.
Moreover, teachers in the preschools must be amiable and approachable.
Their friendly behaviour towards the children will help them to shed their
inhibitions and socialize with the students of their age much faster.
Furthermore the teacher’s faith on the children’s ability will enable them
to learn things effectively. Also teacher’s affable attitude may help a
child choose activities which he/she may not be able to do by
himself/herself. The teacher may assist the child to enter other children’s
group and may offer him/her suggestions on ways to join the other group
and keep him/her gainfully involved. The care and support policy of
ASPAM Preschool, one of the best preschools in Noida is its distinctive
feature.
Safety
As parents it is natural to be worried when your child is going out for the
first time. The time, when he/she would be looked after by someone other
than you and be in a place which he/she is not familiar with. So in such a
case it’s absolutely obligatory that you should be aware about all the
precautionary measures that are needed for the safety of your child. It is
a binding requirement that the classroom has age appropriate furniture
and the fixtures of the classroom do not have any sharp edges. Besides
the teacher and the co-teacher there at all times be a support staff to
help your child whenever he/she goes out of the class to washroom,
activity room, ground or for that matter even in the activity area within
the classroom. The support staff too needs to be courteous, good-
natured, trained, trustworthy and well behaved as children at this age
grasp the things quickly and any kind of unwanted behaviour may
adversely impact the child. For the safety of the child, it is important
that the preschool should preferably be on the ground floor to avoid
any accidents due to climbing on to stairs etc. Last but not the least, all
classrooms, exit and entry points must inevitably be well guarded all the
time.
Academic Engagement
As a parent it’s your priority to ascertain the academic engagements of
the children specifically in the preschools as Pre-Math and literacy skills
can be attained through a variety of games and activities. A plethora of
activities like singing an alphabet song along with picture book, read

3. aloud stories and playing with magnetic alphabet letters help to
enhance literacy skills. On the other hand matching games, sorting
games, counting games and board games build children’s
understanding of number, categories and sequence which supports
Math learning with problem solving.
Thus if a beginner of education is taught without experiential learning
method, it is very likely that the child may lose interest in furtherance of
academic pursuits.
Thus one fundamental element that makes a school is the active
academic engagement of the children as it will develop important skills
such as taking turns, listening to others, helping one another, Interacting
with other children of the same age and this will teach your child to
communicate better and consequently become confident.
