The importance of international preschool education in Jakarta Selatan is that it helps in a child’s emotional, social, and personal growth and development. When 3-year-olds are able to spend time with adults other than their parents, they learn to build trusting relationships with adults. Preschool is the first experience for the child in a structured setting, to learn the importance of sharing and learning new things which fosters personal growth.

What Is preschool education?

International Preschool education in Jakarta Selatan is designed to foster the mental and physical growth of children before they embark on their primary education journey. Its purpose is to establish an external learning environment beyond their homes, allowing them to explore new realms of knowledge.

While a child naturally learns to communicate within the confines of their household, attending preschool offers continuous interaction and exposure to peers of the same age group and teachers. This dynamic atmosphere contributes to the refinement of their communication skills. This refinement involves the translation of mental concepts into language, thus enabling the transformation of thoughts and knowledge into meaningful information. The immersive exposure to a diverse vocabulary through activities such as role plays, interactive reading sessions, and engaging stories plays a pivotal role in enriching the child’s language proficiency.

Why Is Preschool Important?

Researchers on early education have also shown the importance of preschool education stating that children taught at an early age usually have improved social skills, fewer behavioral concerns, and better grades without special attention. Self-confidence gained by learning playfully adds to the personality development of the child.

Many children who attend high-quality preschool programs have their lives changed for the better. In the first five years of life, children acquire the basic capabilities that prepare them for later success in school and life. Many studies show that high-quality preschools improve achievement, behavior, and school readiness for economically disadvantaged children.
