judys reason above is why i left the headstart program. children who barely spoke english came to the program and the first day we met them we had to sit them down and do kindergarden readiness. the children were not allowed to play unless it was to work on goals for there iep. i had enough and quite. I am all about learning through play and the children having fun doing it.

Children may not know they are learning but they sure know they are having fun.
