Parents Ask: Why Preschool?

Preschool is optional and every parent weighs the pros and cons. If you’re on the fence about sending your child to a pre-kindergarten program, you’ve come to the right place.

This campaign is brought to you by SCCAA Head Start.

It’s important to do what’s right for your family, but understanding the benefits of a program like SCCAA Head Start might make that decision a little easier. Why should you consider a pre-kindergarten program for your little one?

  2. Kids learn how to learn.
  3. Boosts math skills and pre-literacy skills
