What benefits child will get from going to a preschool and when should it start?
Preschool will help your child develop socially and emotionally. In preschool, your children will learn how to compromise, be respectful towards others, and solve problems. Preschool will provide a place where your child will gain a sense of self, explore, play with their peers, and build confidence.
How much time will the child get for indoor/outdoor games?
"It really depends on the child. If a child really loves playing outside or inside, then it doesn't matter how much time they have. I played outside alone with my brothers until it got dark and dangerous. I used to play inside with my sisters and brothers, we played with our toys, drawing and reading books. I had so much fun playing alone at my grandparents home in the village while they were busy doing something else in the house, sometimes I was there alone playing with other kids of my age too. Back then real toys were like small wooden cars and rooms were made of mud, we were just having fun that's all."

Yes, uniform is compulsory.
How much parental involvement does a preschool want?
There is no set amount of parental involvement that preschools want, as each type of preschool has its own requirements. However, generally speaking, more parental involvement is generally better when it comes to raising kids. Therefore, the more parents are involved in their child's life, the better it is for the child's development and well-being.
Is there any emphasise given to converse in a particular language with child?
"No there is not really any emphasis on speaking to a child in a particular language. Every child is born with the innate ability of understanding and learning any language. I would prefer to say it depends on the parents to choose whatever language they feel is best for their child. The more languages one learns the easier it becomes to learn another languages. It also makes it easier for children to learn new words in whatever language you want them to learn. One can even sing a song in that language if the child understands music. Generally, i think its okay to speak bharnaashtrian, punjabi, gujarati and tamil languages to baby."
