Introduction
In the United States of America today, we are faced with questions about if our children are getting the best in knowledge. We worry about their social environment as well as their physical location.

Andrew Mashburn suggests that these 4 year olds who enter a preschool program go through all three simultaneously. When children enter into this program they become, with time and lessons, able to work with others which opens a channel of communication. This allows them to grow mentally and socially. According to Mashburn what children experience in a pre – kindergarten program can take on a major role in the remainder of their educational developments, breaking personal barriers in verbal techniques, maximizing how much knowledge they know & can retain, and finally molding socio-emotional capabilities that challenge the four year olds to be ready for school and allows them to be eager to learn. It was also discussed whether or not the quality of their physical environments caused them to either excel in academic success or fail (Mashburn, "Quality of Social and Physical Environments in Preschools and Children 's Development of Academic, Language, and Literacy Skills", 2008, p. 113). Mashburn states that,” higher quality preschools…have a stronger positive association with developmental outcomes among subgroups that are considered to have experienced greater risks for developmental delays” (Mashburn, "Quality of Social and Physical Environments in Preschools and Children 's Development of Academic, Language, and Literacy Skills", 2008, p. 114).

As a parent I want my child to exceed in any way possible even if that means placing him/her to a place that is easier to learn from based on his /her learning
