Primrose Schools Build Critical Skills in the Early Years
Young children often imagine what they can be when they grow up. But did you know it is estimated that 65% of the jobs children will have don’t exist yet? The future of the workplace may be unknown, but the foundational skills needed to succeed transcend innovation.
A national survey of Human Resource managers revealed that critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, self-control, adaptability and memory—often referred to as executive function skills—are move highly valued in entry-level candidates than technical abilities or academic background.
But there’s good news for parents—executive function skills are rooted in early childhood. Mounting evidence shows that parents, grandparents and early education providers can help children develop these skills by intentionally nurturing executive function skills during children’s early years.
To learn more about how these skills are embedded into Primrose Balance Learning® approach or to find ways to nurture them at home, visit them online here.
