Why Should Your Child Attend Nursery School?

At only two and a half years old, it might already be time to send your little ones off to school. While you may feel like they’re too young, a child’s brain grows to 90 percent of its adult size by the age of five, so the first few years are critical. Here are just a few ways sending your children to preschool aids in their development.

Preschool is an opportunity for growth. Children gain the ability to learn, share, and follow instructions, as well as begin their foundation for learning.

The environment is structured. It may not appear that way for children, but preschools are an organized space with constant adult supervision.

Children get to make their own choices. It’s important for kids to learn how to make their own decisions in life, even when it comes to things as simple as playtime.

Children learn to respect others. For instance, kids will learn how to focus their attention on the person speaking, whether it be the teacher or another child.

Preschool nurtures a child’s curiosity. Children have active imaginations, which is why they love to play ‘make-believe.’ But imagination also fuels learning, so preschools will use a child’s interest and ideas to create lesson plans and activities.
