Mana, your dd will be fine having a caring and involved parent like you as her mom

Re the preschools, my suggestion is to visit and consider as many different preschools as you can find - even if the first glance just from an ad or the building doesn't seem like it's what you're looking for. All three of my kids spent many years in several different preschools, and not one of those preschools did anything remotely similar to learning by worksheet, learning the alphabet, learning shapes etc. I found very few preschools in our area that were even set up in that kind of traditional academic kindergarten-prep philosophy. Preschool was all about experimental play and things like that. And the cool thing was - there were quite a few other bright kids in those same preschools who's parents were looking for something more than just learning shapes and colors
