Thank you for posting these articles. I was very interested in the conversation about how school has changed from the use of Kindergarten to prepare kids for school, to the present where parents are asked to prepare kids for Kindergarten! Pre-K is essential for child development and, as the research says, allowing children time to interact and build essential skills is more than just "play".
