Sleep Tips for Preschoolers
It's so important for children of all ages to get a good night's sleep each night. This allows their brains to rest before an active day inside the classroom. Here are some strategies for you to think about if your scholar is not getting 8-10 hours of sleep each night.
- Maintain a regular and consistent sleep schedule.
- Have a relaxing bedtime routine that ends in the room where the child sleeps.
- Children should sleep in the same sleeping environment every night, in a rooms that is cool, quiet and dark.
- Children should go to bed without a television and/or electronic device on. This stimulation will not relax their brain.
