Literacy Readiness at Compass Child Care

12/21/2022

​Attending preschool can provide your child with a strong foundation for reading readiness. Here are a few ways that preschool can help prepare your child to read:
  1. Language Development: Preschool is an environment where your child can be exposed to a rich language experience. Teachers can use age-appropriate books, songs, and games to enhance your child's language skills. This will allow them to develop vocabulary and learn how to communicate with others, which will benefit them when they begin to read.
  2. Phonemic Awareness: Phonemic awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in words. Preschool teachers often use games and activities to help children develop this skill, which is an essential component of reading. Through phonemic awareness activities, children learn how to identify and manipulate sounds in words, which is a necessary skill for sounding out words when they begin to read.
  3. Letter Recognition: Preschools often introduce children to the alphabet, teaching them to recognize and identify letters. This will help children when they begin to learn how to read, as they will already be familiar with the letters and their sounds.
  4. Storytelling: Preschool is a great place for children to learn how to tell and listen to stories. Teachers can read aloud to children, and children can also participate in storytelling activities, such as puppet shows or role-playing. This helps children understand the structure of stories and the elements of storytelling, such as character, setting, and plot, which will help them when they begin to read.
Overall, attending preschool can provide your child with a solid foundation for reading readiness by developing their language skills, phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and storytelling abilities.

Preschool in East Bethel, Minnesota

Preschool East Bethel
Words cannot describe how happy I am with this daycare. It's just a great environment! Everyone seems to love being there (staff and children), the level of communication is great, the facility is safe and clean and up to date, and what's not to love about getting pictures of my son all day? Competitive prices as well! I wish that the location my son is at would have been open when he was put into daycare to begin with!!! Beyond happy with the level of care he's given and amount he's learned in such a short period of time!
​
(This is NOT teddy bear daycare. The only thing they share in common is Compass has taken their building.)

Toddler Child Care in East Bethel, Minnesota

Toddler Child Care East Bethel
For context, I have three children at the East Bethel location (infant room, pre-k room, and school-age room) and have been here for almost a year. Over the years we have gone to 3 different daycares, making this fourth. I cannot say enough wonderful and positive things about both the staff/management and the center itself. First, the staff is incredibly friendly, supportive, understanding, and caring. I have personal experience with a number of teachers in each of the rooms my kids are in and cannot think of a single negative thing to say. With any issue or concern I have ever had they will work with you and go above and beyond to help assist and find solutions. Also, my kids ADORE their teachers. Second, the curriculum the kids follow is stellar, between what the learn, the art projects they do, and how play time is structured. My middle son just turned three and he can count to 20 in English and 10 in Spanish, knows all of his basic colors, and can sing a number of songs; my 4 year old can count to 100, name colors like turquoise, knows all basic colors in Spanish, and asks inquisitive questions at home after learning about a particular topic at daycare. Third, the center itself is incredibly organized and cleanly. I literally cannot say enough positive things about this place and the staff.
