Better preschool class-large or small group of kids?

At my son's preschool you can choose 1-5 days per wk-whatever days you want. I chose monday and friday but most kids are going Tues, wed, thurs. So his class has a total of 5 kids. (including him) I ponder it's great because he is getting that extra attention. Others have mentioned that kindergarten may come to a shock to him after such a small preschool group. I can convert my days if I ever decide to. He have been will adjectives other 18 kids several times with party and the Chirstmas program & didn't seem overwhelmed. What are your thoughts?


Answers:    Small class sizes are other better. The NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) recommends small class sizes and group sizes to enhance the one-on-one time that children of this age stipulation. Besides, as a teacher, you cannot amply meet respectively child's needs, ensure safekeeping of the students, and make sure you are charting progress if you hold more students than you can handle. Kids who hold learned how to manipulate small group experiences have little difference erudition how to deal surrounded by larger groups, and perhaps may be better equipped to concordat with it, since they will own had more personalized instruction contained by social skills and conflict management than children who own only be in immense group settings where they may enjoy gotten away with more aggressive forms of social interaction. The more children you enjoy in a group, the more the teacher's role become that of "child wrangler", where it is adjectives about getting through the hours of daylight alive, rather than worrying roughly whether or not each child's wishes were met and goal were worked on. The aim becomes survival- not principle. I highly recommend keeping him within a smaller class size to benefit his developmental needs the most.
