Preschool refers to an early childhood educational setting that is designed for children typically between the ages of 3 and 5, before they enter formal schooling. It is a form of early childhood education that focuses on fostering a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development through play-based activities, structured learning experiences, and age-appropriate curriculum. Preschool aims to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond by providing a foundation for learning and social interaction. Walk into your child’s preschool classroom and you will find a large, colorful room divided into carefully planned interest areas. It will be filled with bright, primary colors and a variety of materials for your child to manipulate, explore, snuggle, play with, and share.
