BENEFITS OF UNIVERSAL PRE-K
Build a love of learning early.
Data shows that children who participate in early childhood education perform better when they get to K-12 school.
Children who had access to preschool before starting kindergarten perform better on math and reading. There is a direct correlation between underperformance in school and children who stayed home with parents.
A Harvard study revealed that early childhood education leads to a lower chance of special education placement. It also increases the likelihood of graduating from high school.
Build their focus.
Once children start school, one of the most important things they need to succeed is having a developed concentration span.
If your child has trouble focusing in school, they will struggle to keep up and miss out on important information.
Attention spans are a challenging issue for many parents, especially while living in the digital age. Children need the help of their parents and their teachers to help them work on concentrating.
Early childhood education programs work on attention spans as part of their learning process. In preschool, children start understanding when it’s time to work and when it’s time to play.
Healthy Active Lifestyle
Nurturing a child’s mind and body at an early age is key to overall lifetime health.
When children attend a school that emphasizes physical activity, they get to learn and stay active simultaneously. Your kids will have access to a structured outdoor time where they can play on the playground or run around and explore nature.
Whether your child is engaging in sports or playing tag with other children, the important thing is they’re getting up and moving. Getting into the habit of being active at an early age is key to building healthy lifelong habits.

One of the best things about early childhood education programs is giving kids lots of opportunities to get creative and messy. Growing a nature creativity in a child can expand to critical thinking in adulthood and set the foundation of a life long love of the arts.
Preschool programs is exposure to music. Kids get to sing, play instruments, and learn about sound at an early age. Music is just as important as things like reading and writing.
Making music, clapping, dancing, and other fun activities can help develop children’s fine motor skills. Singing songs can build brain and body coordination. The skills that children learn while participating in music contribute to the child’s overall brain development.
