Preschool teaches you basic shit. Language, math, the foundations for everything to come. It is important, but people put too much importance on it imo. I remember reading a study a while back that said yes, kids in these omgawesome preschools do excel and are more advanced than other kids. Then, they go to public school, and everyone pretty much evens out. The TL;DR of the story seemed to be that unless you plan to pay for private schooling forever, you're flushing your money down the toilet. Or even worse, pressuring your kid to excel out of your own vanity. Everyone loves to talk about how advanced their kids are or whatever, pride is a good thing and probably good for the kid too. But some people take that shit too far.
