The Standard Class Size For Kindergarten

the Education ministry has established kindergarten class size in public schools as
18 to 20 students per teacher. However, class sizes vary in the province’s private
schools, with some like St. George’s School in Montreal having maybe a dozen
students in kindergarten to the College Internationale Marie de France, where
there are usually about 30 students, with one full-time and one part-time teacher.

Why are smaller class sizes better for kids?

Reducing class sizes has long been championed as a way to improve outcomes
for students. Supporters – including many parents and teachers – argue that
smaller classes allow students to get more individual attention and result in better
grades, better test scores and fewer disciplinary issues

These schools have varying names for different levels of classes, beginning from –
Pre-Nursery, Nursery, KG, LKG (Lower Kindergarten), and UKG (Upper
Kindergarten).

allow kids to move and mix around at will. There are less fixed walls among the
classroom, and kids will move among the groups of class. When children have an
issue, they may ask to the staff members for help, and they can link members or
play individually their curiosity dictates and mood. All furniture and fixture would
be efficiently reorganized to accommodate several sizes of groups and activities.

kinds of strategies and development stages important to address the kindergarten

landscapes.

Color

colors, textures, material, climate, space, smells, shapes, objects, sounds,
movement, people, change, interactions, time and sized. The sensory elements

Certain Furniture Measurements

Table Sizes

The width, depth or diameter of a table vary greatly, based upon the
number of children it is designed to comfortably seat at once. According to
Capital Area Woodworkers, the height depends on the age range of the
children. For toddlers up to 4 years old, the standard table height is 20 to
22 inches.

Chair Sizes

Chair height also varies based on the recommended age range of the
children who may use it. There is no standard for chair back height, but the
seat ranges from 10 to 12 inches off the ground for toddlers

Size Considerations

If purchasing children's furniture for more than one child to use, purchase
pieces for the age range of the oldest child or even a little older, since
children grow quickly. Otherwise, they may quickly outgrow the pieces, and
you may be faced with yet another furniture purchase.
 5 Must-Have Facilities in Preschool For Better Learning Environment
1. Library
2. Creative area
3. Open space classroom
4. Outdoor playing area
5. Nature Corner

Library

Libraries for children are essential preschool facilities for information and
development. Either a library room or a small space that the children can use
independently to browse books. In preschool, the library should be a kid-friendly
place where children can go to read books, this facility helps to develop their
READING HABITS since young.
The library room or space should be an ORGANIZED and DEFINED SPACE for
children to sit and read.
There are some comfy elements you can add to the space such as lamps, curtains,
chairs, beanbags and etc. Design a comfortable area for reading, can make your
students more likely to spend time in the library.
The kid’s library plays an important role in creating a better quality of early
childhood learning experience that help improve children’s language and
vocabulary development.

Creative Area

There are so many ways for children to explore and be creative. The creative area
in a preschool classroom is a place where your little children can go creatively in
drawing, expressing and playing.
It doesn’t have to be a specific drawing area or learning area, but it’s a place for the
children to HAVE FUN and LEARN at the same time. It’s a place where they can
choose to do what they love, it helps develop their interest too!
Give the children plenty of time, materials and space for play. Children love to be
spontaneous in their creative activities. Prepare a creative area to show the
children that there are lots of activities they can do in one room.
For example, prepare the materials that can be homemade, recycled and natural
materials including colouring pencils, clay, leaves, newspaper to stimulate play and
imagination. So the children can choose to draw a person, do crafting by using
recycled materials, build a house by using clay and etc. This lets children know they
can develop their own ideas.

Open Space Classroom

Open space classroom is a trendy concept of the 21st-century school environment

including preschool. A traditional classroom design with the teacher speaking in a
fixed position at the front of the class is boring and dull. Asking little children to sit
in their fixed position and listen to the teacher for a long time is like a mission
impossible.
That’s why an open space classroom offers students to have a great deal of
FREEDOM in the classroom while learning. Open-plan environments are believed
to be less authoritarian and achieve better children’s social development. It’s a
concept that promotes the sharing of skills amongst teachers and students.
Outdoor Playing Area

If you are a parent, you probably learned that your kids tend to pay more attention
to screen time than they do to outdoor play. The outdoor playing area is always on
the must-have facilities in the preschool list!

Outdoor play helps improve children’s physical development. When the preschool
provides the space for the children to run, bike and jump, these activities
strengthen their bodies and improve their body coordination.
Nature Corner

Nowadays, you can see there are some nature-based preschools that provide
nature-based early childhood education (NbECE). This type of education program
is where learning occurs in the context of NATURE.

This learning program is aimed to increase children’s connection with nature and
utilize its benefits for educational development. A nature corner helps foster
children’s curiosity, exploration, and patience.
