My 4 year old daughter is advanced, reading, and doing basic math and very social and loves life, she loves learning and being active, she also draws in details and very good at coloring. She has never been in daycare but is now in preschool for the first time and she is actually ahead of the other kids in her class, the teacher is wuite impressed. I know that children can achieve anything when they are encouraged and worked with and parents can definetly be as good if not better then the system. My youngest isn't as advanced as her sister and that is fine but she certainly is a social little girl and is right about where she should be for a two year old little girl, she is a litte more quiet then her sister and right out of the blue she will tell us something that we didn't even know she knew, so she is excelling just fine and will never step foot in a center til she is four if then as we are still considering on homeschooling as I believe can be a great benifit. I am not agfainst centers for kids but I know by experience that kids can achieve even if they do not attend a school, it is all amtter of attitude and the role that others play in their lives, kids certainly learn what they are taught and I belive home life is the most influential on a child, in my home, education certainly is on the top of the list and my children are doing very well. My daughter loves her preschool and she had and has no seperation anxiety either, I am amazed at how some people (my own acquaintances) think kids like my daughter must have been raised in a day care, personally I take a little offense over that attitude but I just laugh it off and say, nope, never been in a center, she learned all that at home", Any way, just my perspective on preschool and what my experience has been. Providing a good education is definetly up to the parents to provide for their kids.
