Not Op but you have to put your child in position to succeed first.  There's no way to know in preschool.  Going the other way is harder and is many times a suggestion by those who want to eliminate potential competition.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Why in the world would you want to dissuade OP from helping her kid learn?  Some of you DCUMs are crazy.  [/quote]

I was the second poster who sent their kid to a play-based preschool.  Dc learned how to write his name and there was some exposure to numbers etc. but that was it.  We spent a lot of time with dc - taking him to museums, lots of time in playgrounds, reading etc.  So, by kindergarten I had a child who was curious, enjoyed looking at books and was happy to go to school, could follow instructions, play with other children etc.  There are different approaches to getting a child ready to succeed in school.  The OP was talking about prepping her preschooler to get into a HGC - I guess it depends on how you interpreted that statement.  I was not criticizing this but pointing out that there are alternative ways of getting a child ready to do well academically.  [/quote]
