[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Play based preschools are awesome for upper income kids. However DCPS primarily serves low-income kids who come with significant academic deficits by the time they arrive for Kindergarten. Preschool is a great way to "catch up" these kids to their middle class peers. Tools of the Mind isn't exactly the best way to do that.[/quote] Research suggests that ToM actually IS the best way to do that, which is why public school programs that heavily serve Head Start kids are switching. It may seem counterintuitive, but it has great outcomes consistent across location and SES.[/quote]
