What is the best age for preschool?

​

Is preschool better than staying at home?

Here is an interesting finding by the U.S. Department of Education: children in high-quality preschool programs are more likely to develop high literacy skills. Furthermore, preschools can also prevent children from falling behind academically, ensuring that they keep up with their peers.

​
