Quote

A study by author Kathy Hirsh-Pasek of children whose parents send them to “academic” preschools versus traditional preschools that emphasize play and discovery found that children in academic preschools had no short-term, let alone long-term, academic advantages. By the time they were in first grade, the research couldn’t distinguish between the intellectual skills of the children who had academic training and those who had none. There was one difference between the two groups, however: Children who had been in the academic environment were more anxious and less creative than the children in the other group.
