What are two reasons for having a classroom rules chart in preschool and child care?
Preschool children need lots of visuals. I wouldn’t just stick a rules chart on the room with a list of rule. I use icons in my room and I teach primary. The chidren have a behavior chart that they take home every night. An example would be if they had to check off the ladybug it would mean they were bothering other people during the day. A fish checked would mean that they were out of their seat too frequently. Preschool is the first step in the educational system and the sooner we can train our children that there are rules and consequences when the rules are not followed the easier it will be when they enter kindergarten.
