The pre-K environment is structured, although it may not appear that way. 5. Children get to make choices. 6. Children learn to take care of themselves and others. 7. Pre-K promotes language and cognitive skills. 8. Pre-K teachers nurture a child’s curiosity. 9. Pre-K activities boost pre-math and literacy skills. 10. Pre-K helps develop motor skills
