Preschool Care

  • This age child is more self-sufficient, more verbal and more socially oriented, with a better sense about who they are and what they want.
  • As the providers, we need to model both actions and words, because children at this developmental age will imitate everything they see and hear.
  • Preschoolers need inclusion of structured activity time, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Children in preschool accumulate at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day through structured games, music with movement, etc., and a minimum of at least 60 minutes is provided for unstructured, active play.
  • Children are not sedentary for more than 30 minutes at a time except when sleeping.
