It depends on the kindergarten though N2L. I pulled DS2 out of his prior to school because he hated it and the way it was run, there was no education and all free play. I could, and did, prepare him better for school myself and he has not suffered from his lack of pre school "education".

However the twins' daycare is a fabulous educational establishment, despite it being a childcare centre rather than a kinder. They have really begrown whilst being there but I still would not have sent them if I didn't have to in order to attend uni.
