Why Preschool?
Preschool gives your child valuable experience in dealing with other children their age and learning respect for adults as well. Sharing, playing and working together with their peers develops social skills that will grow with them.
Preschool activities help to stimulate physical skills - developing motor skills and muscle growth. It also promotes language development - talking to peers and teachers, telling stories, and learning to express ideas clearly.
It sets the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and skills needed later in school. Basic counting, letter recogniction, rhythm, science, etc. all begin subjects the children will study in school for years to come.
Best of all, memories of happy times, stories and songs will last a lifetime. Hopefully, some of the friendships built will also last.
