Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) - what questions you should ask?

Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) for preschoolers typically focus on the child's development, progress, and any concerns or observations from both the teacher and the parents. Here are some common questions that may be asked at a PTM for preschoolers:

3. How does my child interact with other children and adults?

4. Can you provide examples of my child's social interactions and behaviors?

5. How does my child participate in classroom activities and routines?

6. What progress has my child made in terms of language development, cognitive skills, and motor skills?

7. Are there any specific challenges or areas where my child may need extra support?

8. How can I support my child's learning and development at home?

9. Are there any concerns or behaviors that I should be aware of?

10. What strategies are being used in the classroom to support my child's individual needs?

11. How does my child handle transitions and separation from parents?

12. Can you provide feedback on my child's participation in group activities and independent tasks?
