Small children love to associate with each other even before they can talk. Organizing a play group so your children can play with other children is great enjoyment for them. It teaches them to communicate, share and take turns. Preschool is great for an older preschooler who is getting ready to attend Kindergarten. In selecting a preschool, make sure that your child isn't in an over sized classroom and will be taught to recognize and write letters (upper and lower case), letter sounds, rhyming, number sense skills, patterning, shapes, etc.. A good foundation in these subjects will help them to be successful when they enter Kindergarten. The curriculum taught in the past for First Grade is now the curriculum for Kindergarten. Make sure your child is ready socially and academically for Kindergarten.
