What is Preschool?

It is education for very young children between the ages of three and six, before the start of [[compulsory education]] at [[elementary school]]/[[primary school]]. There are theories of [[child development]] which influence preschool activities, with the ideas of [[Jean Piaget]] that categorise this age group as a “preoperational” stage of development being the most influential. In [[Europe]] the terms '[[nursery]]' and '[[kindergarten]]' are used to describe preschooling. == Learning == [https://juniordps.com/ '''Early childhood education usually encourages children to learn by playing'''.] But basic topics like counting or the [[alphabet]] may start to be taught.
