The first day of kindergarten is just around the corner and you have so many things you want to know about the school year but you dont know what questions to ask to get the most information and not sound silly. The following topics will help you get a good idea about what questions you should ask and how they will more than likely be able to answer most of your questions.

Curriculum
Most parents really want to know about their childs kindergarten curriculum. This includes the different themes that will be discussed and what subjects will be covered. Parents also need to know what expectations the teacher has for their child and how things will be handled if the child falls short of expectations. All parents have a fear their child wont excel and want to do everything they can to prepare them for a successful year. Because of this parents should talk about the curriculum with their childs kindergarten teacher and determine what will take place and what their child will learn.

Discipline
Discuss discipline with your childs kindergarten teacher as well. This is an important topic and one you will want to know all about ahead of time. You dont want to be surprised with a method of discipline so talk with the teacher and find out how transgressions are handled and what punishment children will receive. Then you may discuss these topics with your child so he knows what to expect should he get out of line.

Homework
Ask your childs kindergarten teacher what kind of homework will be sent home and how much. Knowing up front what to expect will help you prepare your child for homework and also schedule helping him in your evening.

Daily Routine
Asking about the daily routine and how the day plays out is another good question. The teacher can address your fears and concerns and help you see how instruction is broken up by free time, recess, snack, lunch, and games. The whole day wont be focused on lecturing your child on how to write his letters, but knowing exactly how the day will be might make you feel better.

Your Childs Fears and Abilities
Consider talking to your childs teacher about the different abilities and fears your child has. That way she will know what to expect from your child and be able to prepare herself to teach your child in the most efficient manner.

Of course, you may have some other questions other than these you want to ask your childs kindergarten teacher. If that is the case then feel free asking them. Your childs teacher will want you to feel relaxed and confident so your child will, too, so she wont have a problem talking with you and answering your questions.
