A Preschool Teacher shares one of the benefits using PreschoolFirst!

One of the main features of PreschoolFirst that I enjoy is the individuality it gives to me when developing my lesson plans. PreschoolFirst allows me to plan activities based on the level of development for each child. I have been able to provide activities to children who are not developing as fast as other children in the classroom. My classroom consists of four and five year olds, so development spans across a large spectrum. Before I started using PreschoolFirst I found it hard to plan activities on my own for each child. I would plan based on the majority of the children’s development, which left some children feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, or defeated. My lesson planning is now more meaningful since I can refer to the behaviors that each child has mastered or not mastered and plan according to the needs of that particular child.
