These qualities attract the children and it becomes easy for both the teacher and child to bond with each other.

Facilities and Activities: Besides the big outdoor area and activities, other facilities such as helpers to take care of the child, medical facilities and security etc. should also be considered. Also find out about the celebrations at preschools including the cultural functions, sports days etc.
