Your kid will learn to share. Eventually. But they’ll also learn to stand up for themselves, negotiate for the red truck, and apologize—even if it’s through gritted teeth. The preschool part is where they prep them for “big school.” Letters, numbers, sitting in a circle without falling over. Revolutionary.
They do little performances, too. Christmas shows where your child stands frozen, stares at the ceiling, or waves at you like you’re on TV. It’s adorable and embarrassing in equal measure. You’ll cry anyway.

The downsides (because nothing’s perfect)
Okay, real talk: it’s not cheap. You’ll feel a slight pinch in your wallet. But for the amount of care and genuine love they pour into your kid? Worth it. Also, parking is like a game of Tetris. You might have to park down the street and walk. Think of it as exercise.
And sometimes, your kid won’t want to leave. Literally. They’ll scream because they want to finish the puzzle. You’ll be standing there, bag in hand, wondering if you’ve lost your authority forever. It happens.
