Why PreK?
Preparing children for school: Early childhood education helps children develop the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in school.
Improving cognitive development: Studies have shown that early childhood education leads to improved cognitive development in areas such as language, math, and problem-solving.
Enhancing social and emotional development: Early childhood education helps children develop important social and emotional skills, such as the ability to form positive relationships and to regulate their emotions.
Long-term benefits: The benefits of early childhood education can be long-lasting, leading to improved academic and life outcomes later in life.
