There is an emerging evidence that high quality preschools are "play based," rather than attempting to provide early formal instruction in academic subjects. Playing with other children, away from adults, is how children learn to make their own decisions, control their emotions and impulses, see from others’ perspectives, negotiate differences with others, and make friends.
“In short, play is how children learn to take control of their lives".
The areas of development that preschool education covers varies. However, the following main themes are typically offered.
Personal, social, economic and emotional development
Communication (including sign language), talking and listening
World knowledge and understanding
Creative and aesthetic development
Mathematical awareness
Physical development
Physical health
Play
Teamwork
Self -help skills
Social Skills
Scientific thinking
Literacy
