A preschool has several jobs. They aren't supposed to provide you with day care needs, but rather a specific period of time that the child will actually go to school to learn and to play. This means that you may be limited to the times available for this type of schooling.

Today, it is very important for parents to consider preschool for their child. Kindergarteners are learning to read which means they need a foundation of knowledge early on, through preschool. Those that have a preschool background are likely to do better than those that don't.

One of the many things that children will learn during their preschool days is working with others. They will be able to develop the basic skills of teamwork that will follow them throughout their lives. Preschool is so important to providing this element of working with peers.
