The Benefits of Sending Your Child to Preschool
What Skills Would a Child Obtain in Preschool?
Although it can be tough to let your child go to preschool, there are so many benefits to sending them to school. Preschool will get your child used to the natural flow of a school day, teach them how to socialize with other kids their age, gain a stronger sense of independence, and so much more. Here are some benefits of sending your child to preschool and how it will benefit them in the future.
Social and Emotional Development: Young children need to learn how to properly socialize with other kids their age, but also how to regulate their emotions when things do not go their way. Our preschool program will give them the foundation they need to begin learning to self-regulate when there is an issue between them and their peers.
Language and Communication Skills: Being around other preschool-aged children will allow your child to have more opportunities to expand their vocabulary and develop stronger communication skills. Children learn new words and figure out appropriate social behaviors by interacting with other kids throughout the day in a preschool classroom.
Independence and Self-Confidence: Your child will gain a stronger sense of independence by simply going to preschool each day. Attending school without a parent by their side will be a bit intimidating at first for some kids, but then they will become more independent the more they do it. Attending preschool regularly will make the transition from preschool to kindergarten a much smoother experience for the child and their parents.
Enhanced Motor Skills: Fine and gross motor skills will be worked on daily in preschool. Some common activities to work on fine motor skills include writing letters, coloring, putting together puzzles, and painting. Some gross motor skill activities include running around in the gym or outside, jumping, and doing circle time dances to songs.
