When children reach the age of three or four, it comes time for parents to decide whether or not they want to send them to preschool. There are endless benefits of preschool, but parents can often be misguided. Unfortunately, there are quite a few misconceptions about preschool that can deter parents from choosing the preschool route. So let’s take a look at a few misconceptions and the truth behind them.

Early education isn’t necessary: One of the most common misconceptions about preschool is that there is no point in sending kids to school at such a young age. The truth is that early education is extremely effective and can help set up kids for success throughout their educational careers. Children who attend preschools have the opportunity to develop important skills — while they learn academic skills like reading, language, and math, they also learn social skills. Without early education, students won’t have important learning opportunities before they head off to kindergarten.

There are no benefits of a private preschool: When it comes to choosing a daycare or preschool, parents often have to choose between a private preschool and a public preschool. Unfortunately, there is a major misconception that there are no added benefits of attending a private preschool. But there are several benefits private schools, including smaller class sizes, more parental involvement, and more personalized curriculums. There are fewer private schools than public ones, accounting for 24% of the nation’s schools. But if parents are looking to choose the best preschool, they may want to consider a private school.

Preschool is too expensive: And lastly, people often say that preschool is too expensive and not worth the money. While it is true that choosing a daycare or preschool will cost money, can you really put a price on a good education? Parents should not focus on cost exclusively — preschool can help guide young children in early education and prepare them for continuing their education all the way through college. So yes, preschool does cost money, but the price is worth the results.

Hopefully, this article cleared up some confusion about preschools. Choosing to send your child to preschool can help them meet new friends, learn important skills, and be prepared to enter kindergarten.
