3. Kids who attend a high-quality
preschool start kindergarten with
all the necessary social, emotional
and cognitive skills to get them
off to a great start in “real
school”.

4. Research has found that
by age 5, 90% of a child’s brain
is developed, and preschool
programs give maximum advantage
to those
all-important years.

5. Kids who attend preschool tend to
perform at or above grade level,
leading to a higher likelihood of
success throughout the school years,
college
and into the workforce.

6. One study found that adults
who had the benefit of early
childhood education were more
likely to graduate from
high school, more likely to hold
a job and tended to have higher
earnings than those who
did not attend.

8. Kids who go to a good
preschool will get just
the right mix of play time
and learning to be off
to a great start once
kindergarten rolls around.

9. The pre-math and pre-literacy
component of early childhood
education means
the rigors of kindergarten
can be handled far more easily.

10. After all, gone is the
mostly-playtime structure
of the half-day kindergarten years
gone by.

11. Today’s 5- and 6- year olds
are reading, writing, adding and
going to school all day.

13. The language-rich environment of
a good early education program
helps youngsters’ vocabularies
grow by leaps and bounds.

14. Between the ages of 3 and 5,
children’s vocabulary
and ability to form more complex
sentences
grows quickly.

15. Preschool encourages this type of
language development
and also introduces new words
during story, snack, science,
art time …

16. … and during any of the many
exciting hands-on activities
of the school day. Teachable
moments abound in preschool!

18. Little ones seem to have
an innate interest in pre-math
activities. They see family members
counting bills to pay
for a purchase …

19. … figuring out a recipe
for pancakes or counting outs in a
baseball game, and they want to
be competent
in the skills their family values.

20. Sorting, matching, counting and
board games are just
a few of the ways preschool
teachers introduce math skills
in a lively, fun manner.

22. By nurturing a child’s natural
curiosity, a good preschool teacher
will help each child learn to ask
questions and learn which is one of
the foundations of life-long
learning.

23. Even a simple event like finding a
caterpillar on the playground can
lead to a fascinating discussion of
this fuzzy creature’s
metamorphosis
into a butterfly.

25. A child’s social and emotional
development also smooths
the way for better learning
in the coming primary
school years, as well as helping
with all-important
peer interactions.

26. Kids who can work well with
other children, respect the rights of
their classmates and follow
the lead of teachers will perform
better in school and later
on in the job force.

27. 3- and 4- year olds in early
childhood education programs learn
through experience
and good teachers to manage
frustrations, anger and conflicts.

29. Preschool students are given
opportunities to take on
personal responsibilities
and to take care of others, rich
pathways to increased feelings of
competence
and self-worth.

30. From helping set the table
for snack time to assisting
a new student with
play center locations …

31. … little ones learn to function
in a helpful manner with peers,
paving the way for productive
primary school years

33. Dress-up areas, child-size kitchens
and kiddie pirate ships all
encourage role playing
and use of imagination.

34. It’s often in these free-wheeling
play areas that youngsters make
the transition from solitary play to
one-on-one play …

35. … and eventually to the complexity
of group games
and activities, honing social skills
that will serve them well throughout
life.

36. At Maplewood Village,
kid-size buildings, including
a general store, ice cream shop,
animal hospital
and gas station, let little ones
pedal go-carts to a host
of interactive activities.

37. Let your kids experience preschool
learning fun at Maplewood Summer
Day Camp.

38. Experienced staff will keep
your child both safe and busy
with arts and crafts, games,
water sports, gymnastics
and more.
