What Kindergarten Should Be Like

By Diane Trister Dodge and Toni Bickart

Children in kindergarten generally range in age from four-and-a-half-years-old to six-years-old. At this age, they are closer in their development to preschoolers than they are to primary grade children. Therefore, a good kindergarten program should look more like a good preschool than like first grade. Organizations like the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) clearly support this idea. In their book, "Kindergarten Policies: What Is Best for Children?" NAEYC makes a strong statement.

"A great deal of quite conclusive research over half a century tells us that kindergarten-aged children still think like younger children; they think differently, see the world differently, act differently, and have different skills than children of 7 or 8... The kindergarten year is one more important year in a child's lengthy process of growing up. It is not developmentally helpful, or in the long run a success, to push and rush children through it."

A good kindergarten program strengthens children's social, emotional, and physical skills, while providing varied opportunities for children to explore reading and writing, discover mathematical relationships, do what scientists do, find out about the world, and create through the arts. In this type of kindergarten, children talk with each other, explore materials, solve problems together, and in general, are deeply involved in and excited by their work. Because it's kindergarten, not preschool, there should be focused time spent on early reading and writing, mathematical thinking, and long-term studies.
