The assessment of the socio-psycho-motor development of preschool children that participated in the CEAPE recreation program as compared to that of a control group of the same community, was carried out with the help of a set of tests prepared and pre-tested with that end in view. These preschoolers were also tested by the use of a behavior scale. In both areas of assessment CEAPE preschool children were seen to enjoy a considerable advantage over others. These results suggest that those children who do not attend CEAPE will probably face difficulties during their primary course.
