How Does Preschool Help My Child?

A new school year is beginning, but it’s not too late to enroll your child in a quality preschool program! Preschool can have many positive life-long benefits for the child.

Take a look at just a few ways preschool benefits your child.

Preschool Helps Children Self-Regulate Behavior

According to new research from the journal of Child Development, children who attend a quality preschool are more likely than nonattenders to have positive self-regulating behavior. When children are able to self-regulate their emotions and behavior, they have the greatest potential for academic learning and strong relationships.

Preschool Increases Vocabulary

Preschool encourages a more robust vocabulary in several ways. First, children are introduced to quality books and literature during storytime. This allows children to learn new and interesting words they might not otherwise learn. Second, the diversity of classmates in preschool allows children to hear thoughts and ideas expressed in new ways.

Preschool Gives Children a Head Start

A quality preschool is one that gives children a head start in the following areas:

  • Academically: The curriculum gives children extra time to thoroughly solidify their understanding of colors, numbers, letters, shapes, and more
  • Socially: Children learn how to interact with their peers, solve problems, and have a broader collective imagination during play
  • Physically: Through various activities and games, preschool gives opportunities for children to develop gross and fine motor skills
