Preschool (also called nursery school) is a structured educational environment for children between the ages of 2 to 5. Some preschools offer half day programs, while others offer full day programs. However, it is important to make the distinction between preschool and day care. Preschool teachers organize and plan a structured, dynamic program for the children, while a day care does not. Preschool offers an important opportunity for your child to socialize with others in a comfortable setting. You can use this page to help you search for a local preschool.
