Children learn so much just by watching and interacting with others. If your child is not attending full-time preschool, local programs can provide great opportunities for learning and playing with other children. Regular attendance at a community program can have many benefits for your child: structure for his or her daily routine, experience with group instruction, and contact with new, fun, and challenging activities. Experience in all of these areas is helpful practice for school!
