They think I'm taking attachment parenting to the extreme and if I don't put her into the right preschool next year, she won't ever get into the right college in 15 years.

I do think DD would enjoy a bit of structured socialization a few hours a week so I'm still looking for a quality secular play-based part-time preschool that accepts parent volunteers but I have yet to find anything that even comes close. frown

Where I live that model is called co-op preschool.
