Studies show that smaller class sizes and lower child-to-teacher ratios allow teachers to spend more time with each child, enabling individualized instruction, closer supervision, and stronger relationships.

Children in home-based child care often exhibit higher levels of well-being and fewer behavior problems compared to peers in larger center-based settings, in part because they receive more consistent, familiar care and attention.

Smaller group settings also tend to foster better social and emotional development, since children can interact more with both their caregivers and peers, resolve conflicts, get feedback, and build confidence without being overwhelmed in a large class.

Choosing an at-home preschool offers children the benefits of a truly personal learning environment. With fewer students in each class, your child receives one-on-one attention that supports their unique learning style, interests, and pace. In smaller groups, teachers (like my mom) are able to observe, support, and respond to each child’s needs—whether in academic concepts, emotional growth, or creative exploration—rather than being spread thin across many students.

In these intimate settings, social and emotional development often flourish more quickly. Kids can build strong peer relationships, grow in confidence, and feel seen and heard. They learn cooperation, sharing, conflict resolution, and kindness in a setting where each interaction matters. When children are not lost in the crowd, their curiosity, creativity, and sense of safety and belonging are nurtured—laying a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.
