It is not as easy as that for everyone. I think it is wonderful that you are able to offer your children what they need to start school. What about the teen mother who has to go to school and work? What about the low-income parents that are barely able to put food on the table? They have to work- to survive. They love their children just as much as you do! My state (Illinois) offers state funded PreK. The children that are in our program are considered at risk. It is my job to make sure they are not at risk when they enter Kindergarten.
