It’s established that, early childhood years lay the foundation to a person’s development. 70% of a child’s brain is developed in the pre-natal stage. The Early childhood years (0 to 6 years) are life defining, & it’s here that we discover our strengths & abilities.
Research has proven that at this age, brain activity is at its peak & the stimuli a child experiences here leave impressions for a lifetime. Hence, everything a child learns after an age of 5 years is a reinforcement of what s/he has already learnt at pre-school.
Hence Pre-school become the single most important avenue where the child can gain a sense of self, explore, play with her peers, and build confidence. Children in preschool learn how to socialize -- get along with other children, to share, good behavior-management skills, how to compromise, be respectful of others and problem-solve.
Children who attend preschools enter formal schools with better reading skills, richer vocabularies, and stronger basic math skills. This facilitates an easy transition from preschools to formal schools
