Rarely did schools used to take pre-K education seriously. I wasn’t allowed to enter preschool, for reasons beyond my understanding at the time, as a kid. I learned years later that our district required parents to pay $6,500 a year for the privilege of attending pre-K for three hours a day.

True indeed. Schools have never seemed so serious with it and although it cannot be denied of the beneficent influence pre-K education brings to our children, there is an even more need to teach these children what they deserve to learn at that age.
