How does my child interact with you and with other staff members? Ask how your child responds to caregivers. To zero in on this, you could ask how your child asks for help if she needs it, or what she does if she is feeling sad or hurt. How does my child interact with the other children? Learn more about how your child socializes with his peers. If your child is shy, does he participate in group play? Does he have specific classmates he gravitates towards? Does the teacher have any concerns about his social skills? Do you notice any issues with my child's development for her age? Preschool is more about building social and emotional skills than academic ones, but teachers are good at spotting the signs of all kinds of developmental delays. What are my child's strengths and weaknesses? Don't feel like you are just asking the teacher to brag about your child. Teachers have a unique perspective, and since you're not in the classroom, you don't see what they see. Follow up by asking what you can do at home to help work on any areas that need to be addressed or reinforced. What will my child be learning this year? Knowing this helps you support your child's learning at home, whether it's with books from the library, special outings, or just conversations around the dinner table. Can my child follow rules and instructions? Preschool helps prepare kids for kindergarten and first grade by helping them learn how to act in a group and in a classroom. Find out how your child is doing with concepts such as taking turns, obeying school rules, and paying attention. - Source: Preparing for Preschool Parent/Teacher Conferences, by Amanda Rock, Updated 9/5/2019 Helpful Questions to Ask Your Child’s Teacher at the Parent Teacher Conference
