The Importance of Preschool in Child Development

Professionals specializing in infant care in Texas explain why preschool is so crucial and refute the following preschool misconceptions.

• The children do nothing except play games and sing songs.
  According to research, preschool-aged children establish the greatest neural connections through activities such as playing games and singing songs. Singing songs promotes speech and language growth, boosting vocabulary and communication abilities which helps them even after school.
• The advantages of preschool are temporary.
  By age five, our capacity to develop vocabulary, a lifelong communication skill, is essentially determined. There is a high correlation between preschool attendance and achievement in a variety of life domains, according to research on the long-term impacts of preschool.
• All the topics can be taught at home.
  The things you teach your child at home are reinforced in a new setting, and it helps their brain to be more active as they explore a new environment.
• Preschool is reserved for children from affluent families alone.
  In some states, budget disparities for preschool programs are significantly greater. While some states finance preschool for all children, others do not. Additionally, many schools offer financial aid to preschool-eligible families.

In addition, a head start program for early childhood education serves children from low-income families from birth to age five.
