Preschool Syllabus
In preschool you will plant seeds of pre-reading, pre-writing, and pre-arithmetic, by filling your home with good books. Begin by turning-off screens [1] as a 30-minute show like Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood per day is more then enough, and, instead,  enjoy story-time together.  A preschool program is noncompulsory in America, however a 30-minute daily learning time is very beneficial to growing seeds of (1) language development, (2) skill development, and (3) personal development in your child. You can do each 10-minute activity at once or spread out throughout the day as the child shows interest.
