FAQs for finding preschools near you
What is a preschool?
Preschool is a type of early care and education given to children aged three to five in order to stimulate their development both physically and mentally. Preschool provides young minds the opportunity to experience cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth. These preschool experiences have been proven to have lifelong positive effects as preschool not only prepares a child for academic success, but more importantly helps instill lifelong values like respect and cooperation. All preschools focus on exploring the world around them through activities like music, movement, art, science experiments and storytelling — these activities provide preschoolers with interactive opportunities to branch out socially, emotionally, linguistically and cognitively.
What are the benefits of attending preschool?
Early preschool education helps to sharpen a child's communication, social and language skills by exposing them to structured activities that foster learning in a fun and enriching environment. They also get the opportunity to interact with peers, develop motor skills through physical activity, and practice independent thought and problem solving skills in group settings. Preschool educators also reinforce positive attitudes and empower children to become confident individuals through constructive feedback as they aim to prepare young minds for success in kindergarten and beyond.
What is the difference between a daycare and a preschool?
Daycare and preschool are both generally considered early childhood education, but preschool provides a more structured educational environment than daycare does. Daycare typically focuses on providing child care for preschool-aged children who may not yet attend school, preschool serves as an introduction to learning for the same age group. From preschool, children can learn fundamentals such as the alphabet, numbers, and basic concepts of literacy and numeracy. They will also become familiar with the expectations of classroom behavior while developing their social skills in a safe, supervised setting. Some preschools may also provide early educational experiences geared towards specific subjects such as music or art.
