Kindergarten, A
Community Asset
By Bertba Pratt
Studies show (in thousands of
I cases) that kindergartens for
children reduce the number of
failures in the first grades. It is
a wi er investment to maintain
kindergarten than to pay teach
ers to teach retarded, discour
aged children. One cannot stress
in a few words the great value
of this one thing: saving child en
from failure.
The kindergarten prepares the
child for more fotmal grades by
introducing him to school as a
happy place, by enlarging his
vocabulary, by stimulating a
desire to read and by increasing
his general knowledge of school
life
To the outsider kindergarten
seems “just play” but to the
teacher this play is a curriculum
of most serious and worthy aims.
When the kindergartner uses
scissors, crayons, modeling clay
and the like the teacher is think
ing of the eye and hand coordin
ation that is being developed
and of writing skill made easier.
The morning lunch period is a
jolly time and the teacher takes
advantage of her chance to teach j
cleanliness, politeness, etc. And
so on, through every phase of the
day’s happenings, the teacher
sees value for the children “in
play.”
Kindergarten is a place to
teach children to live happily in
a group. The teacher offers the
child expedience in art, music,
literature, dramatization, con
struction, modeling and rhythm.
Certain experiences prepare the
child for reading; otheis for writ
ing; while some involve numbers
Some educa'ors have said that
kindeigarten is more important
to a child's education than col
lege. One cannot overestimate
the value of a good start.
“K.ndergarten is not a luxury,
not a costly place of education,
but one that pays in values of
inestimable worth.”—R. Steward
McDougall, Childhood Educa
tion.
To all Parents—
The cost to the city of Kodiak
for a kinderga ten teacher is
only $340.80, the remainder of
her salary being paid by the
Territory. The average cost per |
child ti the city last year was 10,
cents daily
Most of us do not fully realize
the value of kindergarten train
ing; however, if we stop to re
member wc can recall our dif*i
cutties or those of others who
found the 1st grade a very diffi
cult one. Remember that Grade I
is the hardest step in the child’s
entire schooling and the founda
! tion for his later success orfailure
! Kindergarten will greatly aid to
prepare any child for regular
school.
Parents of 5 year old young
sters are invited to take ad van t
age of this opportunity to start
their children to kindergarten
this September.
