Welcome to NYC, where the UES crowd starts shopping for a preschool as soon as sneauflayke gets conceived. But not just any preschool, oh no, it has to be organic, gluten free, child centered, holistic, chakra centered, and it helps if some celeb sends their kid to the school, too. Because getting into the Ivies starts with the right daycare, dontcha know?

there is no evidence that pre school helps any in the long run. according to the results that are now coming in, there is a slight edge for the next few grades, but by the time they are in 2,3 or 4th, they are the same as all the other sproggen.

I went to a good private preschool then sat bored out of my mind in public kindergarten. Why make your kid learn a bunch of stuff only to have it repeated for an entire year? My mom asked me about kindergarten and I told her it was boring and I was ready for first grade. Boredom is part and parcel for public schools, in my opinion, because it is so much repetition and memorization. Some private schools may or may not be better. The heavily religious ones are probably more obnoxious than public.

Most of the UES preschoolers will be going to private schools like Dalton.
I don't know where you are, but in my state, kindergarten has become rather academic. They learn to read in kindergarten. Private schools around here are more difficult than the publics, which are already some of the finest in the country.
I have no problem with paying for good public schools (within reason), because an educated citizenry is a country's best resource.
