I hated it and as an egomaniacal preschooler I just couldn’t understand why I wasn’t the center of attention as I had been for my entire life.

Many parent’s that I have spoke with said that, that was the reason why their child went into kindergarten so that they…

Newton’s law of motion is virtually in every aspect of your life. Many students complete the K-12 education system and are not educated on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

They like to kick balls, throw balls, catch balls, etc. One day when we were playing outside and there were two tiny cotton…

Does preschool education have a long-term effect on children? This is a question that does not have just one single answer. In today’s society, whether or not your child receives a preschool education is solely a decision the parents have to make, whereas when I was younger, not every child was able to go to preschool. In today’s society, children do not have to partake in a test to get into a preschool program like the children that grew up in the previous decades. Although some people feel as…
