    Former teacher here, and I couldn’t agree more! My school offered half-day pre-K but it was difficult to get into. Thanks for sharing these tips for home!

      Thanks for watching! Same at one of the schools I taught at- low capacity and you had to have your act together to apply almost a year out.

    I never would have guessed how expensive preschool is. Wow.

      I was shook!! I’ve heard parents joke about what a bargain kindergarten was, but I had no idea

    I couldn't afford preschool and I have a full time job. I just taught my child as much as I could before he started Kindergarten and since he started school his Kindergarten and First Grade teachers have told me he is one of their top students. Its doable! My child has also been very independent, which helps a lot. Thank you for putting this video out!

      That’s so encouraging! I hope other parents can have the same success 😁

    I’m shocked at how expensive preschool is. I’m so glad you understand how not every family can afford it, or even weekly sports or music classes. This is great advice.

    I watched your podcast with Chelsea from The Financial Diet and loved hearing your perspective! I have an almost 4yo in daycare, so I found your content at the perfect time. My partner and I were just now talking about future kindergarten related decisions. I'm looking through your videos and can already tell there are a bunch I want to watch - thank you!

    Full day is more like $12-$15k a year. It's 🍌🍌🍌
