Getting accustomed to a routine: Pre-schools initiate kids to follow a routined, hence a regulated life. They learn to dress up for school, have their breakfast in time, come to the school at a designated time and sit and indulge in various activities for a fixed period. This routined life shapes their acts and thoughts, preparing them for challenges ahead.
Opportunity to socialize: Pre-schools are considered as the first social platform for kids. Here besides meeting, interacting and growing in their peer group, they also come across various individuals other than their parents. It gives them an opportunity to look at a world beyond the four walls of their houses.
