[quote=Anonymous]We do 10 min/day with my 4 yo DS and I see no down side!  We do it at home, so it's pretty low cost and DS enjoys them.

Not sure why they would be considered 'developmentally inappropriate'.  Kumon makes 'age appropriate' workbooks.  DS loves the cutting/pasting/craft ones.  He also has gotten a sense of pride from how much he has improved in writing his letters and numbers.

He is at a play based preschool, do PLENtY of time to explore by playing. 10 mins/day really isn't that much.

I'd say try the workbooks at home first before you start paying for a center.  The time you would take driving your kid there and back would be enough to do the work at home.  Plus, this way, it's something you can do WITH your kid, and you'll both feel a sense of pride in his/her work!  You can always do the center later if you find it necessary.

And, if you want to implement your own incentives, just do stickers for each page completed or a small toy/book at the end of every workbook.

Good luck!!  Good for you for taking an interest in your kid's education and for wanting to help your DC learn![/quote]
