In preschool, children build a strong foundation in social, pre-academic, and general life skills that will give them a solid foundation in school and beyond. Preschool provides opportunities to develop social and self-regulation skills, boost pre-literacy skills, and nurture creativity. Preschool students can learn to take care of themselves and each other, increase their language, cognitive, and motor skills, and they learn structure from the rules of the classroom, making them more ready to enter kindergarten.
