“The last few years have shown a push for early preschool attendance. So much so that these words may actually sound like heresy. But I will say them anyways: if you do not want to send your kid to preschool and prefer to keep him or her at home with a day rich in conversation and play - going to parks, making cookies, visiting the library, reading books, taking naps, mashing play-doh- I do not believe you are doing your child a disservice. On the contrary, your child is doing just precisely what a little three- or four-year-old should be doing: playing.”
