What Do Preschoolers Learn?
As the name implies, preschool is a time when students learn important skills before they start primary school. This year, students will learn basic concepts that they will build on in the years to come. A preschool curriculum is typically made up of lots of playing and singing as students gain the important skills that will help them learn to read and write.
A preschool program should help your child learn the following:
- Letters, numbers, shapes and colors
- Coloring, drawing, sorting, cutting, and gluing
- How to share, take turns, follow rules and instructions, respect their peers, and work together
- Transitioning between preschool learning activities
- The seasons, different kinds of weather, and days of the week
- Different animals, their characteristics, and the sounds they make
- The parts of a book
The Time4Learning preschool lesson plans pages can help you gain an understanding of what a complete preschool program should include.
