About this title

Review:

The move from babyhood into preschool is a big transition for parents and little children. Smart Start by Marian Edelman Borden (In Addition to Tuition and Mom's Guide to Raising a Good Student) will lead the anxious, the reluctant, and the ignorant parent of a pre-preschool child to serenity, eagerness, knowledge--and a good preschool. Smart Start clearly explains the differences in preschool curriculum, gives parents a detailed time line of procedures for finding the right preschool, and explains the process of getting both parent and child ready for the beginning of the little one's school career. Keep this book around even after the preschool has been selected and the first day is over: Borden's guides to development, childhood illnesses, and kindergarten readiness make Smart Start an excellent and thorough resource.
