The Benefits of Preschool for 3- and 4-Year-Olds

Children Raise Hands in Class

Embarking on the exciting journey of preschool is like opening a treasure chest. There are endless possibilities and enchanting opportunities; each day is a blank canvas for your little one to decorate their very own way. Not only is preschool a fun and joyful experience for children, but the benefits of choosing a wonderful preschool are endless.

 

Why Should My Child Attend Preschool?

With so many options and even more opinions about early education, it can be tough to find just the right fit. It’s important for your little one to attend preschool because they are statistically likely to develop important skills at a quicker rate than those who didn’t attend preschool.

Students who attended early childhood education programs often present higher scores and evaluations on:

  • Math skills
  • Language skills
  • Literacy rates

 

Additionally, students with early childhood education have higher high school graduation rates and college attendance rates than their non-preschool counterparts.

 

Different Preschool Goals for Different Ages

While preschool is beneficial for all little ones, there are some slight differences in curriculum and learning objectives for different ages. For example, 3-year-old preschool is different than 4-year-old preschool for several reasons. Three-year-old preschool is a precursor to 4-year-old preschool, with each program offering different perspectives and goals.

At The Breakie Bunch Learning Center, we are proud to offer a variety of childcare programs, even down to our littlest six-week-old friends. These programs are designed to work together so that, over the years, your little ones get a comprehensive, personalized educational experience that has them excited for kindergarten and will encourage a lifelong love of learning.

 

3-Year-Old Preschool

Since the program is set for children at such a young age, 3-year-old preschool is focused on taking all that toddler energy and learning to apply it in an educational setting. This preschool prep is all about letting kids be kids while also teaching valuable skills.

Introducing lots of different activities and subjects helps little ones prepare for a more structured learning environment. Three-year-old preschool also features tons of group time but also lots of individual attention and one-on-one time to ensure everyone is progressing and learning well.

 

4-Year-Old Preschool

When people think of the word preschool, they typically imagine a program for kids preparing to enter the new and exciting world of kindergarten. Four-year-old preschool is where things get a little more serious, introducing more complex topics like math, science, language, and social-emotional skills. Even though little ones will be learning a ton, The Breakie Bunch Learning Center prides itself on the ability to make 4-year-old preschool fun and engaging, no matter the topic.
