In the early years, children absorb language, emotions, and social behaviour faster than at any other stage of life. This makes preschool the ideal time to introduce age-appropriate public speaking experiences that nurture confidence, communication, and creativity. At Sakalya Wisdom Early Years, we consciously integrate these experiences into our daily routines—because confident communication starts young.
As one of the best preschools and best kindergartens in the neighbourhood, we strongly believe that public speaking is not a skill reserved for adults—it is a life skill that grows beautifully when planted early.
Why Public Speaking Matters in Preschool
1. Building Confidence from the Inside Out
Preschoolers love to talk, share, and express. When this natural tendency is encouraged through activities like Show & Tell, circle-time conversations, and story-sharing, children learn to speak freely in front of others. They gain the confidence to:
Express their thoughts without hesitation
Overcome shyness
Feel proud of their achievements
Understand that their voice matters
This early boost becomes the foundation for confidence throughout school and life.
2. Strengthening Communication and Soft Skills
Public speaking in preschool does much more than improve vocabulary. It develops essential soft skills, including:
Clear speech
Active listening
Confidence to ask and answer questions
Respect for others' viewpoints
Eye contact, tone, and body language
These experiences shape children into effective communicators from a young age.
3. Reducing Screen Time Through Joyful Human Interaction
When children discover the excitement of real conversations—laughing, storytelling, questioning, responding—they experience the joy of being heard. This naturally makes them less interested in screens.
Public speaking sessions spark:
Curiosity
Social bonding
Emotional expression
Imagination
As a result, children choose meaningful interaction over passive screen time.
4. Encouraging Creative Thinking and Imaginative Expression
Public speaking encourages children to think beyond what they see. Whether they describe a favourite object, narrate a story with their own twist, or participate in discussions, their imagination blooms. They become:
Natural creative thinkers
Problem-solvers
Idea generators
Confident storytellers
These are the very skills that set them up for successful future learning.
