Preschool education or Infant education is the provision of education for children before the commencement of statutory and obligatory education, usually between the ages of zero or three and five, depending on the jurisdiction.

In British English, nursery school or simply "nursery" or playgroup is the usual term for preschool education. In the United States preschool and Pre-K are used, while "nursery school" is an older term.

Preschool work is organized within a framework that professional educators create. The framework includes structural (administration, class size, teacher-child ratio, services, etc.), process (quality of classroom environments, teacher-child interactions, etc), and alignment (standards, curriculum, assessments) components that are associated with each individual unique child that has both social and academic outcomes. Arguably the first pre-school institution was opened in 1816 by Robert Owen in New Lanark, Scotland. The Hungarian countess Theresa Brunszvik followed in 1828 . In 1837, Friedrich Fröbel opened one in Germany, coining the term "kindergarten".

What is the ideal age to for a child to start pre-school?
Q. A lot of people and even some educationists are of the opinion that a child can begin pre-school from age 2. I find this not acceptable. Children in general are inquisitive and eager to learn. That does not mean that they can start pre-school from age 2. I think from age 4 or 5 is a good start.

What is an ideal meal for pre-school children?
Q. In food tech, my friend and i are making a dish for children in pre-school it's got to be small portions, with vegetable for nutrients and meat etc. Could you please give us some ideas? It's our decision and its not really a "set" homework task, so nobody saying "do your homework yourself" please. Thank you in advance.

A. pasta and meatballs, cook and serve the meatballs in a yummy tomato sauce with chopped courgettes and onion , have a play to see how many vegetables you can hide in the sauce lol. and sprinkle a little cheese on top, then you can make small portions from it, its economical and kids love to get messy with the sauce xxx

A. The quickest way I can answer this is talk to parents in your area - especially of children who have cross the preschool stage and shortlist 3-4 preschools. Take a half day off from work and visit them!). Keeping in view the travel time, pollution on the roads, safety and stress on the child, the pre school should be near your home. So, call the preschools (just the google the names and you ll get the contact info) you might be interested in and set up a time to visit. You should probably make an appointment for your first visit so that you can be assured the Headmistress will be there and that you will not short staff them while someone shows you around. Some of the questions that you might want to know during the phone call are: … [cont.]
