Preschool has become necessary preparation for kindergarten, as schools now require admission tests assessing readiness. Preschool helps children develop skills like following schedules, learning the alphabet and numbers, and improving cognition. It also aids in developing motor skills through activities. Attending preschool, even just a few half-days per week, provides significant benefits to children.
16. In a preschool, the students begin to learn about the
letters of the alphabet in simple ways such as coloring
a picture of an animal that begins with the letter.
17. A preschooler has an opportunity to touch shapes of
letters in order to learn the alphabet with a different
part of the brain.
18. Instead of only learning numbers by recognizing the
figure on paper, preschoolers use manipulatives such
as sticks to visualize a particular number.
19. A teacher gives each preschooler an opportunity to
learn with kinesthetic, auditory and visual methods.
27. Preschool is an excellent place for children to develop their
large and fine motor skills.
28. Fine motor skills involve tasks such as cutting on the lines
of a paper or printing letters in a first name.
29. Large motor skills are also important, and preschool students
get an opportunity to learn these skills as they engage in
playground activities such as jumping rope or throwing balls
into hoops.
30. It isn’t necessary for a child to spend an entire day in a
preschool to reap wonderful benefits.
31. Most preschools offer programs that are three days a week
instead of five, or students can attend half-day sessions.
32. Let your kids experience the after school program at
Maplewood Summer Day Camp.
33. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe and
busy with arts and crafts, games, water sports,
gymnastics and more.
