Attending preschool offers numerous benefits for a child, including enhanced social, cognitive, and language skills, emotional growth, preparation for formal education, and physical development. It fosters creativity, imagination, routine, and discipline. Typically, children start preschool between 2.5 and 4 years old, depending on individual readiness and preschool policies. Signs of readiness include being potty-trained, showing interest in playing with peers, and following simple instructions. Consult with pediatricians or early childhood education professionals to determine the best time for your child to start preschool based on their developmental milestones and social readiness.

Preschools often follow educational philosophies that emphasize play-based and child-centered learning, focusing on the holistic development of the child. Common approaches include Montessori, which encourages self-directed, hands-on learning; Reggio Emilia, which values exploration and project-based activities; Waldorf, which integrates academic, artistic, and practical skills through imaginative play; HighScope, which involves active participatory learning with a consistent routine; and Bank Street, which emphasizes experiential learning and social interaction through thematic units. Many preschools blend these philosophies to support the diverse developmental needs of young children.
