[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there no sadder phrase in the English language than "rigorous full-day preK"? Poor kiddo. [/quote] I don't see the problem with this characterization. There is a big difference if prep level between a child who does a half-day play based preschool vs a kid who is with a nanny vs a kid who is in a full day preschool with an academic component and smartboards in the prek classes. My child is not in K now, but attended St. Anthony's Day School in Old Town since he was 1.5 years old. I can confidently say that he was in a "rigorous prek program" where he learned to read and write and do math much earlier than his peers simply because of the situation. Now I have heard that SADS has smartboards in the prek classes, so kids leaving there are way ahead of the kindergarten curve and might be bored for the first several months in public kindergarten.
