That one thing I do love about my area. I think a lot of people are still into old-fashion childhoods a bit more. People definitely send their kids to preschool, but I very much approve of our local preschool. (Before I started my daycare, I sent my son there.) The morning is their "preschool" time. The afternoon is just childcare. I'd pick my son up and the teacher would be showing him how to climb on the monkey bars or they'd be be throwing apples over the fence for fun. He'd come home messy, and with ripped jeans. I always felt like he was still have lots of time to just be a kid. But you know what, now that he's in kindergarten, he's right on par, and most of the time, he didn't even know he was learning.
I have said this about my area in the past as well. Parents have typically been happy with the "little" preschool and mostly play based care. But I've definitely noticed a change in parents attitudes. The client in my other post is a UPK teacher...
