Kaye,

Thanks for your article and heartfelt salute to us single parents.

Great article Valorie.

I remember when I was considering preschool for my children, one of my thoughts was making sure that my children could keep up with other kids in early elementary that had attended pre-k.

Michele,

This sounds like something my family would love to do! Too bad they could not hold the contest during the summer months to make travel easier while school is out.
