A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Developmental Needs in Preschool Learning Path Levels

As parents, we all want to provide our preschoolers with the best possible start in life. One way to achieve this is by enrolling them in a preschool learning program. These programs are designed to provide age-appropriate education and support the developmental needs of preschoolers. In this article, we will explore what is included with each preschool learning path level and how they address the developmental needs of young preschoolers.

The Infant-Toddler Level
