The Importance of Pre-School

Child psychologists and early learning specialists have long known that a child develops 50 percent of his or her learning potential by age 4, and 80 percent by age 8.

So why are we not aiming at preschool as the critical problem in our educational system?

Some provinces are slowly moving to full day Kindergarten but this does not address the problem of children in daycare.

Most daycare workers are underpaid and many daycare centres do not provide much more than child-minding services.

More emphasis needs to be placed on the critical learning stages BEFORE a child enters school.

There is more than enough research evidence available to prove the need to formalize daycare practises.
