Nursery preschools are a great way to introduce your child to the world of education. By engaging with nursery staff and other children, toddlers can become more confident in their own abilities while learning essential skills such as problem-solving, communication and social interaction. Nursery preschools create the ideal environment for children to acquire essential knowledge such as the alphabet, counting or color recognition through play-based activities that stimulate learning. Moreover, nursery preschools not only help build important cognitive and language skills but they also support positive behavior and allow children time away from screens.
