In preschool, social studies is the study of people and how they relate to children's world.

Early childhood educators may foster on these interests and plan a variety of experiences with social studies in mind, cultivating and extending young children’s diverse skills and abilities to form and voice opinions, identify and solve problems, negotiate roles, perceive diversity and inequality, and recognize the consequences of their decisions and behaviors on others.
