Benefits to Children
Let’s face it: children love to learn. And they’re ready to learn long before they enter
kindergarten because much of their brain growth takes place during their earliest
years. That’s why enrolling a child in preschool helps lay a strong educational and
social foundation for their elementary school years and beyond.
What Everyone Should Know...The power of preschool is clear: it’s good for our kids
and good for society. Scientific research is proving what many parents have already
known for years: when children go to quality preschools, they develop academic,
physical and social skills that benefit them throughout school and for the rest of their
lives. And kids who go to preschool are more likely to graduate high school, have a
job, make more money and commit fewer crimes, which means it’s not just kids who
benefit from preschool – we all do.
Benefits to Society
Parents aren’t the only ones who should care about preschool. There is a lot of
research that shows how preschool leads to long-term benefits for our economy and
society as a whole. More and more people, including business and community
leaders, are seeing that preschool is a smart investment not just for children, but for
all of us.
