Alphabets for Kids Printables

Alphabets are a foundational learning area for preschoolers, toddlers and young children.

Letters are everywhere today. ABC letters combine to make words and names which leads into sentences and reading. It makes sense then that childcare providers, preschool teachers and parents teach children about the alphabet and it's 26 letters (Modern English alphabet).

Finding appropriate alphabet worksheets, alphabet printables and other alphabet printouts is a big help in building resources for teaching children about the alphabet and all it's glory.

Stay tuned for various alphabet resources listings, alphabet letter printables and ABC worksheets.

Picking a Preschool for Your Child-What to Look For

Preschool vs. Babysitting


In Canada, not all Preschools are created equally.

There are Preschools and there are babysitting services--it all depends on what you are looking for for your child.

The teachers schedule a routine that they follow EVERYDAY for the children. This provides structure.

A quality Preschool has Professional E.C.E's ONLY--this means that those who are teaching the children have went to college to learn how to 'teach and deal with preschool aged children and teach various skills and curriculum.

Professional E.C.E's would have their first aid & CPR in case a situation developed with any child.

A good Preschool would follow some sort of educational or preschool learning program, the most popular being "Play To Learn'.

Professional Development accessible to E.C.E's to keep up with children's needs.

A Good Preschool center would obviously be clean and sanitary and provide healthy nutrtious meals (not a regular feeding of hotdogs and kraft dinner etc..)

They would also have healthy activities and 2 hours a day of outdoor activities.

In Canada, E.C.E's now have to be Registered through the College Of E.C.E's in order to have a professional title.

On average, pricing is about $30 per child per day. Infants of course cost more due to responsibilities and materials required for care.

Babysitters are babysitters...put the kids in front of the tv, throw on a movie, cartoon or kid's show.

Preschool is a structured environment where curriculum are suppose to be in place with 'Professionals' teaching, where children can interact and learn to develop different skills. :)
