3. She will be bored by kindergarten. Not, says Miss Macintyre, if the nursery school and kindergarten teachers dont use the same play materials, books and stories. Actually, nursery school can make the inevitable adjustment to primary school much easier for a child. 4.

How do you know the school is any good? First point to look for in a good school is the director, says Miss Macintyre. You, as a parent, must like and respect her. The ratio of teachers to kids should be one to eight or ten. Look for large-sized safe play equipment. If you see well-constructed homemade equipment, its a good sign, says Miss Mac-ntyre.

Sense the climate of the school. Is there a calm atmosphere? Are the kids happy? Some mothers lament that their children stand around instead of playing with other children the way the mothers think they should, Miss Macintyre remarked hitting a familiar lament of mine. A three-year-old likes to be close to other children even though he plays alone. Most teachers let the child play alone for a while then draw him into a group. What health provisions are there; physical exams are required by most good schools.

Every morning-inspection of the nose and By KAY SHERWOOD NEA Staff Writer Shall I send Susie to nursery school? We mothers of pre-schoolers are asking ourselves this question. Well-meaning but often inaccurate answers supplied by friends can confuse the issue. General facts learned from Miss Ethel Macintyre, nursery school supervisor and teacher at National College of Education, parallels my personal experience. These are the points amateur advisors will make. 1.

Susie is too little to be pushed out of the home (implying youre shirking your responsibilities). The factual answer is that most children of three and almost all of four years old will revel in the greener pastures of nursery school. They're interested in people, they can play uninhibitedly and new toys and creative materials feed their burgeoning imaginations. Exceptions are the extremely shy or physically fragile child, and the child who must obey rigid authoritarian discipline at home. More persuasive discipline of modern nursery schools which emphasize self-control may overly confuse him, says Miss Macintyre.

2. Susie will be sick all the time. No doubt that our Mary was sick with colds and tonsillitis a good deal, but this was her first continued exposure to other children. Children with older brothers and sisters are apt to catch1 the diseases anyhow. Chicken pox: iweek at a school that answers the preceding requirements.

throat should be a must. Look for centers of interesting play. There should be separated corners for art, music, books, housekeeping, blocks and accessory materials. 5. How can you afford to send Susie to a good school? Price is no criterion of quality.
