Playway PreSchool
"Children who attend high-quality preschool enter kindergarten with better pre-reading skills, richer vocabularies, and stronger basic math skills than those who do not,"

Why is Pre-School Important?
Research shows that a child's brain development peaks at the age of 3. With quality preschool education they become exposed to numbers, letters, and shapes, singing, playing with toys. And, more important, they learn how to socialise -- get along with other children, hare, and contribute to circle time. Pre-school is critical for the physical, emotional and social development of the child. Our objective at the MHMS Pre-school is to get your child ready to learn on the first day of Kindergarten. To ensure school readiness, here are a few developmental milestones that we look at. These are few activities that the child should be able to do at the age of 2, 3 and 4.
