When you think of preschool, what is your vision? Are you afraid that your child is still too small to be placed in preschool? Does it scare you how they will adjust to the environment or will be able to cope with the separation?
Well, don’t be worried! There are several advantages of preschool education that can help your child in many ways. Preschool education is also a need of working parents because if babies are left at home with grandparents or helpers they may care for the kids to an extent but they will not be able to guide them the way they should be as per today’s competitive environment. According to the National Institute of Early Education Research (NIEER), children who attend a good preschool have better pre-reading, math and science skills than those who did not go to a preschool.
Kindercare, one of the best preschools in Gurgaon says that “The first few years of life are the most crucial in a child’s individual development. At this stage the proper & strong foundations are laid for later development, critical skills are learnt, and values & attitudes are formed. We devise innovative and interesting ways of learning for kids and recommend parents to opt for preschool education for their child.”
Here are some of the advantages of preschool education:
- Social and emotional: Your child will have lots of opportunities to interact with kids of different ages. Kids learn to resolve conflicts, be confident, cooperate & manners.
- Language and literacy: Kids learn identification of objects, and communicate through sentences, reading & writing.
