What is Preschool Education , Its Types & Importance

Preschool Education – Preschool (Nursery School) is a well defined early childhood program in which children combine learning with play and fun.  This program is run by professionally trained tutors. In India, Children are most commonly enrolled in preschool between the ages of three and five, though those as young as two can also attend Pre schools.

Different types of pre school

There are different types of pre school and kindergarten. Some of them are known as seasonal preschools which engage children for a few hours in a day. At some other preschools, children stay all day and have lunch in between. Some preschools are run by the local or state government bodies like CBSE, State Boards, or IB, others by private companies, institutions, independent schools, or volunteer parents.
