Currently I have a child in Pre-K and Kindergarten, Kindergarten today is now the old first grade, so that being said, Pre-K is the old Kindrgarten. The old kindergarten is made to assist children in their social skills through "PLAY". I just graduated from Early Childhood Development with an "A" and learned that for children ages 2-6 "PLAY" is the way they learn. They learn socially and academically all through PLAY! Pre-K should be required and free! Pre-K should be age 5! Name: Email: Subject
