Question

Two people are arguing about the importance of pre-kindergarten education. One says that preschool education has no value beyond helping children transition to kindergarten. How might the person who supports preschool education respond?

Answer 1

preschool helps your kid with valuable social skills and they can get a feel for what school is like thats my best guest. 

Answer 2

Well, here's an answer coming from a preschool teacher.
We help the kiddos learn to write their names, learn colors and shapes. In preschool they usually aren't potty trained yet so that's a fun job of ours. We also help prepare the children for kindergarten by teaching them manners and motor skills.
It's something that's very important and shouldn't be avoided--- IF the parent is away often.
