Is Preschool Really Necessary?

In a word … yes! The traditional home with a dad who brings home the bacon, and the mom who is always home to put it in the frying pan, while simultaneously caring for the children, is now the exception rather than the rule.

Due to an approximately 50% divorce rate, many children are being raised by single parents. Additionally, more grandparents are being called upon to become primary caregivers for the next generation. Even, when families stick together, the cost of living often necessitates establishing a two-income household.

While we may prefer to spend every waking hour nurturing and educating our precious little ones, many parents must seek the best alternative—preschool. Rather than parents shuffling kids off to a daycare provider, who favors movies and cartoons as entertainment for preschool age children, while caring for smaller children, parents are opting to better prepare children for kindergarten and beyond.
