Babies start learning about the world as soon as they are born. Until they are 8 years old, the things they experience and learn from their parents shape how they grow physically, think, feel, and interact with others. Going to a good preschool can make these connections stronger and make sure kids are happy and healthy in the future.

Studies have found that kids who go to good preschools do well in school, get along with others, and develop well in different ways. Preschools teach kids important skills that help them not just in school, but also in their adult lives. These skills include making friends, using language well, thinking, and being creative. Kids also learn to control their feelings, adapt to different situations, and pay attention to things.
