Preschoolers are asked to follow snack guidelines, wait in line with the rest of the class, clean up after themselves, and other related tasks that require following directions.<\/li><li><strong>Ability to Communicate<\/strong><br>Typically, children who are ready for preschool can speak in simple sentences of three to five words. This can mean expressing their needs to an adult or describing something that happened recently, such as a trip to the zoo or the library.<\/li><li><strong>Ability to Handle Transitions<\/strong><br>Most preschools operate on a schedule. This entails moving from one activity to another, such as playtime, snack time, and similar activities. In preschool, children are expected to handle these transitions smoothly, as learning to move from one activity to the next is an important skill that all preschoolers must learn.<\/li><\/ul> One Step Ahead Learning Center is a trusted provider of exceptional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onestepaheadlearningcenter.com\/child-care-services-in-east-orange-new-jersey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">child care services in East Orange, New Jersey<\/a>.
