preschool

For the past decade, parents have been bombarded with research, statistics, and reports that claim children need a formal academic program during the preschool years. The impact of the push for universal preschool has been for parents, especially moms to feel pressure to “teach” their young children. Parents begin to doubt their own instinct to nurture their little ones at home.

Susan K. Stewart challenges this notion in her new book, Preschool: At What Cost? She takes a complete look at the history of the preschool movement, the studies behind the statements, and the unpublicized evidence that your children may benefit from more play and less school. Preschool: At What Cost? gives parents the information needed to feel confident in their decision to keep their preschoolers at home. Parents will learn answers for those who question their choice.
