Preschool lays the foundation for a child’s future academic, social, and emotional success. It helps develop early literacy, math, and problem-solving skills through fun, structured activities. Children learn to follow routines, share, and cooperate with peers, fostering social and emotional growth. Preschool also encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning, setting the stage for lifelong educational success.
