Moreover, the level of interest and needs of preschool children have to be much more considered as major factors for readiness of pre-school children in learning and total development, especially in preparing them for primary school education. This paper therefore tends taken a keen look into the concepts of learning, principles in Pre-School Child related activities, i.e their education, their needs and interests that are said to enhance children's total development of children through pre-primary education facilities.
