Blog Theme 8 :  Social media at work place.

Previously I Worked in Lexington International Preschool in Sri Lanka. In this preschool embraced digital innovation as a cornerstone of its educational approach. Teachers leveraged digital media seamlessly into daily activities, enhancing the learning journey for children’s minds. Among the inventive methods employed was dedicating time each day for children to engage with YouTube videos tailored to bolster pronunciation skills and language development. Whether through captivating songs, interactive phonics lessons, or immersive language learning content, these videos nurtured communication skills in an engaging manner.

Furthermore, the preschool fostered effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders through dedicated WhatsApp groups. Each class had its own space for parents and teachers to exchange updates, share resources, and cultivate a sense of community. Additionally, a centralized WhatsApp group for teachers streamlined academic discussions and coordination, ensuring a cohesive and supportive environment. This digital infrastructure not only facilitated efficient communication but also strengthened the bonds between parents, teachers, and children.

Moreover, the preschool's commitment to accessibility and convenience extended to the enrollment process, which was seamlessly integrated into the official website. By digitizing the application procedure, Lexington International Preschool prioritized transparency, and accessibility for parents. This streamlined approach ensured that crucial information was readily available, simplifying the enrollment journey for families. Through these digital initiatives, the preschool created a dynamic and tech-savvy learning environment, empowering children's development while fostering a strong partnership between educators and parents in nurturing each child's educational journey.
