[quote=Anonymous][quote]Very few preschools teach academics and reading. We had to look hard to find one and my child thrived there. There was a bit of everything, especially language development.[quote] Play based doesn't work for all kids[/quote] nor does it always give the kids what they need to be prepared for K. which is why you see so many kids being held back by parents. [/quote] Sad when a three year old cannot thrive in a play based environment. Preschools should not be teaching reading per se. Certainly they should be using the alphabet, sounds, and numbers (and numerals) in a play based environment. But, if the goal is to teach reading, something is wrong. There is a reason it is called [b]pre[/b]school. Sounds like PP just wanted school.[/quote]
