i ask this because i was informed by my fiance that kids that attend the headstart (preschool) here really just play with toys and socialize.
for some reason i thought preschools actually tried to teach a little, and that is more than a daycare or a sort.
is this typical for public preschools?
btw our preschool is incrediably small basically one room 10-15 students per year, but its incrediably small town with only a couple hundred people resideing in it.
i ask this because my lil boy will be starting this fall.
mine did but here, preschool is run by and is in the public school. We also have a head start program that is for kids that didn't make it to the waiting list for the preschool or aren't old enough yet. I don't know what they do there, mine never went.
My kids were not allowed to attend the headstart/public preschools, so they did not go. IDK what they might have learned.
Mine did. My dd is in kindergarten and she is way ahead. I have a 3 year old and he also has learned so much.
what did yours learn? like what things did they do?

why were they not allowed?

Not all preschools.. But headstart is an AMAZING program.
well i figured alot would be specific play activites but the way my fiance made it sound, she made it seem like it was just a daycare like place.
Quoting Kris_PBG:
Children learn best through play. A high quality preschool teaches through play using developmentally appropriate methods. What appears to be play are carefully chosen activities and materials put in place to educate.

I can afford bbq, you're simply not invited!
