Latest brain-based research studies point out that brain development, right / left hemisphere orientation is almost complete by the age of six which influence the pathways of physical and mental health and behaviour throughout his/ her life. Brain cells of children are very active from 0 to 6 years.. As toddlers have young and impressionable minds, it is essential to nurture social skills, table manners, personal hygiene and emotional intelligence. Children during their early childhood learn many values through play and activities. Pre School education have shown that children taught at an early age usually have improved social skills, fewer behavioural problems and better grades without special and attention. Self confidence gained by learning in a playful manner adds to the personality development of the child.
