If you’re wondering whether you should send your child to preschool, the answer is almost undoubtedly YES!  In long years past, preschool was seen as mostly for children who were developmentally delayed, but today, preschool is a way to prepare any child for success.

If you wait until kindergarten age to start your child’s formal learning, you could de doing your little one a disservice, remember the first four years of a child’s life is when 80% of the brain develops!  If you’re concerned about safety, restrictions, or space availability in your local school district, virtual preschool is a viable alternative that brings all the benefits of preschool with few of the drawbacks.

The Benefits of Virtual Preschool for Young Children

There are several big benefits frompreschool that will be lost if you wait until they’re 5-6.

1 – Get a head start on learning

The biggest benefit to preschool, of course, is the opportunity for your children to learn more, earlier, than if they wait until kindergarten.  A good preschool can ensure they know all their basics – colors, numbers, the alphabet – and can even give them a head start on more advanced skills such as reading or basic math.

2 – Become accustomedto formal education

When a child starts preschool at 3-4 years of age, it’s easier for them to adjust to the challenges and rigors of formal education.  Waiting longer than that can make the first day of kindergarten a big change and the transition to going to school every day, even longer.

3 –Getting Used to The Routineof Learning & Structure

It’s never too early for your child to start learning how to get used to the routine of learning and classes. They can get used to going to their learning corner (wherever you have set it up in your home) and get in the habit of enjoying classes and focusing on lessons and activities for certain periods of time (at their own pace).

4 – Virtual Preschool Makes Early Learning Easy

Preschool virtual learning is becoming increasingly popular, and it’s no wonder why.  Virtual preschools most of the lessons and key experiences of in-person preschool, but in an environment that you can control and oversee.  Videoconferencing technology allows children to interact with teachers and other students seamlessly, like if they were in the same room.

In addition, pre-K virtual learning is typically less expensive than in-person classes.  This makes it an economical option, which is always important..
