A weekly online chat on Monday evenings will allow parents to meet with other families in the program and with Ms Kim Dadachanji, an experienced NHA early childhood educator. She will address parents’ questions, and mentor them weekly in their new role as PreK teacher for their child. Online social meet ups may be planned as well.
Sept 21-Oct 2 The New Hope Preschool at Home Program begins by providing guidance to help parents prepare for their new teaching role, including suggestions for creating a schedule that works for their family and designing an environment for learning that fits their home, space and lifestyle. Parents will receive suggested activities and experiences to share with their child as a foundation to begin the school year.
Preparing Your Home Learning
Environment and your Child
This is the theme for these two weeks, and includes the first weekly “Parents Meeting with Ms Kim” with discussion and Q & A to support parents in their new teaching role.
Exploring Feelings
includes activities, suggested books and experiences which address the
social-emotional foundations for learning and life, which is instrumental for a
child’s success. This is the foundation for NHA’s Character Education,
and Leadership Training. We encourage each child to be and do their
personal best, grow their empathetic heart, and live by the Golden Rule.
