Pre-kindergarten programs help children develop basic skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication through play-based learning and hands-on activities. The aim is to provide a smooth transition into formal education by fostering curiosity, creativity, and foundational learning skills. These programs are commonly offered in schools, daycare centers, and community organizations.
