Ideally, kindergarten is a smooth, sunny introduction to real school for your child, since it sets the stage for the rest of his / her education. Indeed, they create a unique world before they actually leap into the real one. Kindergarten provides your child with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and study skills that he / she will use throughout his schooling. It is a platform of learning to live with the real world taking the aid from the world of imagination.
Kindergarten is a period of tremendous cognitive growth. Children at this age are undergoing a large amount of change very quickly and are learning to see the world in many new and interesting ways. However, it’s also important to realize that even at this early stage, there are fundamental skills that children need to acquire in order to be successful later in life.
