Is a Homemade Preschool Right for You?

Homemade preschool can be fun and rewarding for you and your child. And you may be surprised that learning in a familiar environment may make her even more prepared for kindergarten than if she were in a more formal program.

Jensen has noticed her daughter was just as kindergarten-ready as her classmates who had attended local preschools. "When my third daughter was asked on the kindergarten assessment test to count as high as she could, the teacher stopped her at thirty. My daughter told the teacher she could count much higher than that—to 100. The teacher was really surprised," remembers Jensen. "As a mom there's nothing better than knowing that my child learned something from me."
