Preschool and pre-primary school are both educational institutions that prepare children for formal schooling, but there are some differences between the two.
Preschool typically refers to early childhood education programs for children between the ages of 2-4 years, focused on socialization, play-based learning, and building basic skills such as pre-literacy and pre-numeracy skills.
Pre-primary school, on the other hand, typically refers to the first year or two of formal schooling for children aged 4-5 years, which includes a more structured curriculum that focuses on developing foundational literacy, numeracy, and social skills.
Overall, preschool is more focused on play-based learning and building basic skills, while pre-primary school is more focused on developing foundational academic skills in preparation for primary school.
