WHY PRESCHOOL IS GOOD FOR CHILDREN

• Preschool is an opportunity for growth
• Preschool prepares children for kindergarten
• Preschool promotes social & emotional development
• Preschool promotes language & cognitive skills
• Preschool teachers nurture a child's curiosity
• Preschool helps develop motor skills

There are approximately 2000 Days between birth and the first day of kindergarten. The first 2000 Days of a child's life can have a profound and lifelong impact on physical and emotional well-being, readiness to learn and succeed, and ability to become a productive citizen.
