(BPT) - In today's fast-paced, technology-driven world, it's more important than ever for children to build durable skills — creativity, social skills and emotional skills, for example — starting from an early age. In fact, new research from the Modern Family Index (MFI), commissioned by Bright Horizons and conducted by The Harris Poll, revealed that 73% of parents feel the rise of AI has made durable skills just as important as traditional academic skills like reading, writing and math.
Similarly, experts are recognizing this trend and increasingly advocating for play-based preschool experiences that focus on supporting the whole child and emphasize social and emotional development alongside academics. This means that the skills children need to be successful in kindergarten look a bit different than they have in the past.
