Early Learning Matters! Livingston County Preschool Programs
The early learning your child receives both at home and in preschool is important because 90% of a child’s brain develops by age five. Supporting early learning before starting kindergarten is vital for how your child’s brain develops.
A good preschool program helps your child want to learn more about their world. This builds their character and could spark a life-long love of learning.
Preschool programs help children enter school ready to succeed with:
- Hands-on learning
- Social skills to be a part of a classroom
- Communication skills
- Early reading, math, and science skills
- Key life skills experience
- Developing curiosity
