“Preschool helps children learn to read by third grade.”

“Children who attend preschool are more likely to go tocollege.”

“Children who attend preschool are more successful asadults.”

These statements have been repeated so often they aregenerally accepted as fact. Parents are becoming so concerned about preschoolacademic achievement that some even put their newborn infants on a waiting listfor preschool enrollment.

Stewart takes a completelook at the history of the preschool movement, studies behind the statements,and unpublicized evidence that young children may benefit from more play andless school.
