As the name implies, preschool is an experience that a child has throughout their formative years. It is an early childhood program led by highly educated individuals that combines learning and play.

Preschool education is important because it helps children develop emotionally, socially, and personally. When a three-year-old is exposed to adults other than his or her parents, he or she learns to form trusting relationships with them. Preschool is a child's first experience in a structured setting, where they learn the importance of sharing and learning new things, both of which contribute to personal development.

Even if a child learns to speak at home, the constant interaction and exposure with children of the same age group and teachers in a preschool help them to strengthen their communication skills. It is necessary to translate mental representations into languages in order to convert ideas and knowledge into facts. Children are exposed to a wide range of words through role-plays read-aloud sessions, and stories, which helps them expand their vocabulary and improve their language skills.

Preschool education is essential because it allows children to not only explore their surroundings but also to develop physical coordination skills. Running, climbing, beading, art, and craft activities all help to improve hand-eye coordination and fine and gross motor skills.

A child who enjoys learning, exploring, and completing age- appropriate tasks from an early age is more likely to enjoy school and perform better academically later in life.
