Preschool as the name suggests is an experience that the child goes through during their initial years of development. It is an early childhood program run by professionally trained adults in which learning is combined with play.

Importance of Preschool education is that it helps in a child’s emotional, social and personal growth and development. When a 3-year-old is able to spend time with adults other that parents they learn to build trusting relationships with adults. Preschool is the first experience of the child in a structured setting, to learn the importance of sharing and learn new things which fosters personal growth.

Although a child learns to talk while at home, in a preschool continuous interaction and exposure with children of the same age group and with teachers helps them to enhance their communication skills. It involves transformation of mental images to languages so that thoughts and knowledge can be transformed into information. Exposure to rich language through role plays, read aloud sessions and stories helps to enhance the child’s vocabulary, thereby promoting language skills.
