Whether you've just enrolled your child in preschool or are considering it in the near future, it's important to realize what your preschooler will learn. While every program is different, most preschools will help your child learn in the following areas.
Sleep is important for all of us, but it's doubly important for young children. But what happens when your child isn't falling asleep or when he or she isn't staying asleep? What steps can you make to help your child sleep?
Ephesians 6:4 is a guiding principle for any parent. It says to "bring [your children] up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." It's right and natural, then, that the spiritual health of your preschooler should strongly influence every decision you make for your child.
Let's say your child only attends 4 hours of preschool per day for 5 days a week. That's 20 hours a week. Now let's assume that in a year there are 40 weeks of preschool.

Talk about influence!
So will preschool help your child spiritually? If so, how so?
