N.S.
I'm not sure this is what you want to hear but I'll share it and if you choose to disregard, so be it. Each is entitles to his or her own decisions and opinions. From an educational prospective, being that this is my field of work (I have a masters in early childhood and I work now as a part time private reading specialist) and I have taught pre-k for more than 10 yrs. and academic is NOT better for them, based on all the research we have over many yrs and all the long term stats on development and IQ's. At this age, a play based program proves to give them higher intelligence levels long term, and breeds happier people as adults. I can explain it all further if you are interested in learning more on why but all I'm saying is that you may not want to jump at an academic program thinking you are getting your child a 'head start' cause you are not. Again, I am happy to explore the reasons behind these facts. Good luck with your decision and please make it an informed one.
