Matt Gerdeman: Well you wouldn't use permanent markers - you would use child friendly markers - we use both. Markers are more of a special art project - crayons are used more. Maybe someone colored something they shouldn't and your teacher you work with just put them away for awhile.
Antonette Shappy: Parents will complain if their child comes home with marks all over them and their clothes. Also, crayons are easier to clean up than markers.
Kiersten Clayburn: If you are getting him out and about among other children with regularity and teaching him things at home, then preschool is unneccessary.....
Carter Edstrom: I teach preschool and lower primary and encourage my students to use markers and pencils instead of crayons. I don't like crayons. They are messier than markers because they need scrubbing off desks and leave your hands all waxy and yuck. If children are taught to use markers correctly they should be allowed to use them. I love markers. If! i want to colour in I use markers so why shouldn't the children be allowed to. Maybe try talking to your preschool teacher and asking why they have been put away. Perhaps you could volunteer to do a lesson on how to use markers appropriately. Good luck and have fun!...Show more
Germaine Tieken: No, not really, it's not like you learn anything anyways. WOW, NAP TIME, WOW, A PLAY KITCHEN, WOW, WE LEARNED HOW TO COLOR! Basic stuff you can teach your child at home. II skipped preschool, and look at me, I am in honors everything for every subject and the smartest girl in my school of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. I am a 6th grader.
Myron Leftwich: From a parental position and a financially tight situation, I wouldn't be able to answer (I'm 17, still at home, ect... all though I do have 5 nephews and 1 niece and when situations used to be worse I did school 3 of them as much as I could) Anyways, any teaching is important in their development as you obviously know, but I! think preschool was important. Developing social skills at su! ch a young age is important and irreplaceable at such a time during this development stage. Not only is it developing social skills but it'll advance them academically. I remember the 2 years of my preschool and a lot of what I learned believe it or not. From my first memories to my peers to learning and associating. I certainly wouldn't ask my mom to trade it for anything. Quick tip in case you do decide to address this at home, a child takes the most in from the after breakfast to 4 hours later, so let most of the learning be done then and the cartoons ect. at night (if allowed)Hope this helps!(I just read the above one, and agree. you'll most likely be closer. But I still do suggest the preschool)...Show more
Babette Deloe: A warehouse? Do you have any idea how loud 20 dogs can be in an enclosed indoor space? I'd advise you find a place along a commuting route for easy client access. Plus, the dogs will need outdoor and indoor play areas. I don't know where you li! ve, but you may find some info at petsit.com, which is the site for Pet Sitters International. You can get your insurance through them, too.
Lenard Ginyard: I think one of the most important aspects of preschool is preparing them for the schedule of all day kindergarten and help socialize them. The number 1 reason for children failing kindergarten is lack of social skills. It seems that your son is very intelligent and is where he should be academically. I would see no reason keeping him out of preschool as long as he gets to interact with other children. There are plenty of programs at libraries, gyms, churches, etc that could help him (and you) meet friends in the new neighborhood. Good luck....Show more
Imogene Neiswander: It's the current trend in building fine motor strength for learning to write. Markers are easier to use. Crayons require a little more pressure to create visible marks and the teacher want to build strength in the children's hands and fin! gers. Check out Handwriting Without Tears at http://www.hwtears.com/ f! or more on this theory. They advocate not only the use of crayons and pencils exclusively, but they suggest using short crayons (broken in half) and short pencils (golf pencil sized) to improve fine motor strength in young children....Show more
Rosalyn Olivera: Markers make more of a mess, and they can get on their clothing and their skin. Crayons are just easier, with less mess.
Shelley Stevens: The award box
Patricia Bolduc: My daughter was in a Head Start program from age 3, something my boys didn't have the advantage of. Though I worked with my toddler sons on stuff (shapes colors etc), somehow, it coming from a teacher really benefitted. By the time my daughter was in 3rd grade she was the school's multiplication champ, sometimes against 5th graders. She started a program in HS called High Tech Academy, where in 10th grade she started taking college courses at the local community college (it counted for HS and college credits). When she graduated she! already had 26 college credits! I know that the money is a lot, but am just giving you my experience with my 3 kids (in other words, I wish I had my boys in preschool!)...Show more
Inge Mclaurine: Preschool does give children a head start. I would say it is beneficial but not necessary. Children are exposed to colors, leter, writing, social skills, numbers, etc on a daily basis. Social skills are also very important.They are also in the routine of school and learn how school works. They know to raise their hands to speak, and to respect others who are speaking. That alone is one of the main causes if behavior problems in elementary school!It just better prepares children and gives them a head start....Show more
Kip Ockenfels: i love crayons but i am a preschool teacher helper and the teacher took all the markers out of the room...why do preschool teachers like crayons more than markers????
Shon Almquist: If you go off the paper with a crayon, it will! most likely not leave a mark. It also doesn't get on your hands or you! r clothes due to accidental marking. You need to make very deliberate actions with a crayon to leave a mark.A marker just requires a light touch and a mark is made. Also, crayons don't dry out and are therefore more cost affective. They break, yes, but you can still use the broken pieces. If they get too small to color with, you can use them in other craft projects. It's also very easy for a little one to forget to put the cap back on the marker and this can cause dry-out and leakage. There's also a benefit to crayons. Because they take more pressure to leave a mark than markers do, it helps little ones build up their hand strength and motor skills....Show more
Eleni Mccier: Crayons help develop use of imagination and creativity and give more options to freely express a child's feelings and ideas. I prefer crayons over magic markers because the colors can be more easily combined and with the different sizes of crayons- from the short stubby ones to the nice pointy new! ones, a child can purposefully make new shapes and lines and learn the relationship between space and size and concepts of symmetry, balance and design. As well, keeping the crayons even if they are to the very nub can teach a child value and to not be wasteful....Show more
Filiberto Ranalli: I want to start a doggie daycare, so i was looking at warehouses, but the prices are so expensive. Do you have any ideas on where i can start one in a certain state that wont be so outrageous with their prices. Do i start it in a warehouse? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Jesse Japak: They use crayons instead of markers because they do not want children to make a mess using markers. like if the rub crayon on their arms it prob wont show up and will be easy to get off if it does...With marker its harder to wash off and a real mess when scribbled on tables and walls!! Hope I Helped ;]
Libby Berkovitch: I been thinking about Doggie Daycare 10 years ago, never did it! . But , I though to buy a house, on a big lot, around airport area. So ! it be convenient for people who travel.But it's depend on you financial situation.Why I chose a house, because it was cheaper, then warehouse and more homier, plus if something going wrong, or you get bigger, you always can sale the house. Great business, Good Luck!...Show more
Willa Holte: At his age you can teach him everything but if you can't pay the bills or enjoy the holidays he won't be happy. Spend the precious time with your son. He will need time to adjust to the new home & he can have an adventure with you to learn his new town!
Miguel Koczela: Pre school is not that important except in terms of children learning socialization skills. I would keep him home but make sure you take him to playgroups etc. and just enrol him next year in Kindergarten.
Iris Shawcroft: THE GOODY BOX
Charissa Bichsel: Pre-school, nor Kindergarten is important for children, but being with their parents is.Often times pre-schools are expensive day care facilities ! with some sort of "academic program".If "schooling" is such an issue for the parents, because it is not for the children then get a complete curriculum book (Sam's for under $10.00), do a few workbook pages and call it good.The most important thing you can do for such young children is be there, read to them play with them, and allow them to work/play along side you, and your husband according to their own abilities until they are ready for formal learning.Book suggestion:Better Late than Early by Dr. Raymond Moore, and Dorothy Moore....Show more
Byron Fortmann: For babysitting, I made a box that they can pick one toy out of if they are good. (they do this before bedtime). What should I call it? This is for 4 year olds so preferably something really cute that rhymes. I would rather do something fun, not just "Prize Box"Thanks!
Alden Sabio: Though my son is only 19 months old, and has not actually eaten a marker yet, the results of eating a crayon are pretty coo! l.
Lawana Neemann: There has been shown no developmental differen! ces in children of preschool age that learn from home or go to preschool. You can just as easily influence your son as any teacher. Read to him, get him books, involve him in learning activities. one of the biggest benefits that preschool provides is "socializing" children, which means taking them out of the home and teaching them what is expected in public, how to cooperate, make friends. However, the same things can be taught if there are young children for him to play with. No worries... you teach your child....Show more
Jacinta Moitoso: I don't think it would hurt him to miss out on 5-6 months of preschool, as long as you work with him. I could no longer afford daycare about a year before my daughter went to kindergarten. She has done fine in school.
Monty Sieloff: How about "Treasure Chest"?
Davina Shindler: First of all, markers are far more messy and can stain clothes, desks, etc. Crayons also better prepare students to switch to pencils for writi! ng. They are more the same size and require using about the same pressure and technique. I would guess that is the primary reason.
Bethanie Menden: I personally don't feel preschool is that important. I say this because I worked in preschools for over 5 years. I now have a 3 1/2 year old son, who has never been to day care or preschool. I spend maybe 15 minutes a day working with him on things like counting and letters, than the we other things like gymnastics, swimming lessons, and church for him to play with kids. My son has already learned to read his first little book, and can write all his letters. There are so many easy ways to teach children at home, and I would hate to have missed out on seeing him learn all these new things. You have to send your child to preschool for hours for them to learn what you can teach them in minutes. Good luck with your choice!...Show more
