Picking a preschool for your child can be a real challenge. There are many choices and many things that must be considered. The first consideration that you should take is safety. You will be leaving your child here so make sure that you feel comfortable about the center's security and the way that they will handle your child.

Preschool is a time for early learning. Although you want your child to come to preschool to learn their letters and numbers, you should also want them to learn social skills at school. Children need to learn just how to deal with and interact with other children. This will foster good relationships and will enable your child to do well throughout their school days and beyond.

Preparing your child for preschool is a fun task. If your child is just entering preschool, invest some time in pretend playing school at home. Play the role of teacher and plan some sitting activities, quiet time, playing and sharing. Crafts and fun centers are important too. When you pretend preschool at home, your child will feel much better about it.
