Preschool, also known as nursery school or kindergarten, provides education for children before primary education, usually around ages 2-3 to 5-6. Early learning covers education of children from birth to the end of the preschool period and includes learning at home and externally provided education.
Preschool Programs and Curriculum
Many schools offer preschool programs. Federal and state standards help standardize preschool education content to provide equal opportunities. Inclusive programs for special needs are becoming more common.
Preschool teaches basic concepts and prepares children for school. The preschool curriculum is different from kindergarten. While the purpose of preschool is to teach, kindergarten focuses more on play and social activities.
The Role of Technology
In regards to technology, its role in preschools is increasing. The market for apps is expected to reach $1.8 billion by 2024, with AI-powered platforms becoming more prevalent. Additionally, it’s projected that the overall market will reach $5.6 billion by 2024. It is imperative to recognize that the brain undergoes most of its development before kindergarten, and preschool lays the foundation for life-long learning.
