[quote=Anonymous]http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2011/03/why_preschool_shouldnt_be_like_school.html This article cites two recent studies about the developmental science behind play-based learning, and why it's better in the long run. My son went to a play-based learning preschool (RCNS) and a HUGE percentage of the kids in his preschool class are at the Center Program for the Highly Gifted with him now in 4th grade. It definitely doesn't sacrifice anything about academics in anything except perhaps a very short-term sense. Long term it's better.[/quote]
