by Nakhat Ahmad (Author)
Preschool is such an important age. In fact, Dr. Maria Montessori, namesake of the world-renowned preschool system, observed that the most important period of life for education is not the university level, but rather, from birth through the age of six. For those seeking a high-quality Islamic education for the critical preschool years with trained teachers and a highly effective, structured curriculum, however, options have been severely limited. Until now. An actionable, easy to understand guide that provides Islamic preschool teachers the curriculum and tools they need to provide a thorough, quality education, Nakhat Ahmad's debut is also a must-have for home school parents, Montessori schools and teachers, and conventional kindergartens as well. Providing information and direction in a clear, step-by-step manner, it first and foremost builds a solid foundation for Islamic preschool teachers as well as home school parents, many of whom lack the training of more established, standardized systems. Emphasizing improved behavior and habits for children as well as teaching reading, writing and math skills, its sample lesson plans for each area combine songs, recipes, and forms to deliver a comprehensive experience for the teacher, the parent, and most importantly, the child. Combining the best of Montessori and Islamic educational philosophies, Ahmad's guide is a game changer, provding the tools and information that heretofore have been unavailable in bookstores. Informative, practical and highly actionable, it delivers the first of its kind curriculum for Islamic preschool teachers, regardless of whether they apply their craft in a home or school setting. A must-have for every preschool teacher's bookshelf, Kindergarten Curriculum and Teacher's Guide for Islamic Schools will help give you and your child the best education possible.
