Little Apple Preschool

Most preschools offer some of the same basics- care, basic education that is a given. But if your child is one who likes to be busy, activities like field trips, the possibility of outdoor fun, and having a mix of things to do can be a great thing for them, and many preschools offer them.

If you’ve recently had to make major changes in your child’s life from a death, divorce, or marriage you may find that your child is having trouble adjusting. Being enrolled in a preschool program can provide the stability that will help your child succeed.

Day care centers often will have large stocks of equipment and supplies so that kids have plenty of play time and learning choices. That can help to develop your child both cognitively and creatively, at an age when experts say play time is important for the fully rounded development of young children.

Many children do not get much peer interaction. In some cases, children spend virtually all of their time with adults - whether it's their parents or a caregiver. Preschool offers the chance for children to learn how to interact with other children - crucial skills for kindergarten.

In preschool, children learn to raise their hands, take turns, and share the teacher’s attention. What’s more, they learn to separate from parents who often stay at other sorts of programs like gymnastics or music classes. All of these things make for an easier transition to kindergarten.
