[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I'm the only one, but I disagree with all the previous posters. The early years are the most important for learning, and I would go with the best one you could afford. You can save that money when they go to kindergarten...[/quote]

But you're basically assuming that the pricier a preschool is, the better it is, and I think anyone who's been through preschool knows that's not the case.  All the good ones do basically the same things (in a warm, welcoming environment) - practicing social skills, learning letters/phonetics/numbers/colors, plenty of active play, art projects for the parents to hang on the fridge, and naptime... and usually with some bonus instruction in Spanish (or Mandarin or French).  You don't have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for that, and doing so is more of a social leg up for mom than an educational one for the kids.

Besides, for UMC kids, they already get a lot of that at home, and where preschool makes the biggest impact is with parents who aren't already trying to teach their three-year-old to read or haven't read to them daily from birth.[/quote]
