They had provided with justifications in support of their argument.

• Early development processes at this early age will prepare them for a classroom environment in school.
• Various activities in the classroom like reading interesting books, singing songs, finger plays enhance their skills and interest towards learning.
• Also participating and interacting and communicating with peer groups help to utilize both hemispheres of the brain towards proper growth of the child.
• Simple mathematical tasks of counting or learning to climb stairs etc are helpful in developing the learning skills.
  The decision to admit a kid depends on the distinct advantages of preschool programs-

• They develop an understanding of the authority and develop self control and discipline in their attitudes which helps them a lot in facing the world outside.
