- Reputation and Experience: When choosing a kindergarten, the reputation and experience of the institution is of great importance. A kindergarten with many years of experience and successful references should be preferred.
- Education Programme and Approach: Before enrolling, it is important to examine the educational programme and pedagogical approach of the kindergarten. In particular, it is important to check whether your child is offered an education that suits his/her individual needs.
- Teacher Quality and Student-Teacher Relationship: The qualifications and experience of the teachers who will teach your children in kindergarten are important. It is also important to observe how teachers interact with children and make sure that the student-teacher relationship is positive.
- Safety and Hygiene Standards: It is very important that the kindergarten has high safety and hygiene standards. The cleanliness of classrooms, safety of playgrounds, health measures and other measures taken for the safety of children should be taken into consideration.
- Student-Management Ratio: A good pupil-administration ratio ensures that your child receives individual attention and care. Kindergartens with smaller class sizes and more teacher support are more conducive to supporting your child’s development.
- Physical and social environment: The physical and social environment of the kindergarten is also important. It is important to choose a preschool that offers an environment where your child can play, explore and build social relationships.
- Communication and Participation: It is important that the kindergarten keeps in touch with parents and encourages their participation in the school. It is also valuable that the school provides information to parents on a regular basis and offers opportunities for parents to contribute to their child’s education.
