The Importance of Kindergarten and 'Polly the Collie'

Kindergarten is important because:

• Early learning experiences have a profound effect on children's development, and directly influence the way connections are made in their brains.
• Positive early learning experiences are crucial to children's future well-being, and can provide them with a real head-start in life.
• Children thrive when their physical and developmental needs are met within a secure, respectful, and nurturing environment.

Polly the Collie is perfect for Kindergartens because:

• It is an active, joyful course that helps young children become familiar with English language vocabulary and grammar though fun activities, music and song.
• It also helps children build up important life-skills, such as social interaction and self-esteem, which can provide a big boost to later learning.
• Lessons are designed to be mindful of children's need for encouragement and acknowledgement, even within a large group setting.
