[quote=Anonymous]I did the same thing that you are planning. I put him in Jr. Kumon one year before he started kindergarten. He attended a play-based preschool which was wonderful - plenty of outdoor time, exploration, singing, lots of choice, etc. The only drawback was they never, ever would force a child to pick up a pencil or crayon. They might gently suggest it but would never insist or prod. My son never chose to do any fine motor activities and never wanted to do any art. So as a balance I enrolled him in Kumon and he did anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes of work five days a week at home and visited the center two times a week. It worked out great. He is doing great in kindergarten. His friend who was at his preschool is struggling even though he is a really amazingly bright kid. So if your kid is at an academic preschool I wouldn't do it, but if he or she attends a play based preschool it is a great balance.[/quote]
