There are those who do not warrant admitting it, however, that is fortunately, the truth. It is common sense too. Success does not mean a child’s ability to count, read and write. Success means a child’s ability to blend and co-exist with peers, helping when a need arises and being a friend to other little people. Children who receive quality early childhood education learn independent skills rather than having an adult constantly looking over their shoulder. Whether you select a government or private educational institute, the end result is that a child should be able to conduct himself in any given age appropriate situation.

Parents have the added burden of having to give-in to their own parent seven when they know it can benefit their children.
