The right age to start preschool varies but typically, children between the ages of 2 and 5 attend preschool.
While both offer child care services, preschools generally have a structured educational curriculum while daycare may be more focused on supervision.
This depends on your child's age and the specific preschool program. Some children may start with a few half-days per week, while others may attend a full day program five days per week.
You can help prepare your child for preschool by encouraging independence, setting a routine, reading books about preschool, and talking positively about the upcoming changes.
Preschool provides a structured setting where children gain a sense of self, explore, play with their peers, and build confidence. They also learn cognitive skills such as pre-math and literacy skills, along with fine motor skills.
