How do parent participation nursery schools benefit the child, the parents, and the community?
The child gains the ability to relate to and communicate with other children, as well as adults. The child experiences a variety of play equipment, expressive materials, and media, resulting in a positive attitude towards learning. The child also gains self-esteem. The parents gain an opportunity to learn and develop with their child as well as an increased awareness of the role of education in developing an effective and satisfying family life. The community gains children who are learning respect for others, and families with a sense of community responsibility.
