[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they need to be College and Career ready in elementary school. The pressure is intense and it trickles down to even the youngest children. It is insane. I feel badly for today's kids. [/quote] Yes, if you go to one of these morning preschools, the kids are being drilled on the alphabet and made to run laps around the building!! Uh, they're really not. My kids have gone to three different part-time preschools (which is what the OP is talking about) in the area and they've all been play-based and about as low key as you can imagine. Some circle time, some snack, just a few hours a week in the early years to start learning how to manage in a group setting. Some people are looking for a place to send their kids so there's a market for it. I think that's about it.[/quote]
