<p>All I Ever learned i learned in kindergarten...............</p>
<p>honestly, i think going to preschool and going to kindergarten definetly helps people.</p>
<p>Name the "Ivy League" of kindergarten.</p>
<p>nothing. never went.</p>
<p>it's 'kindergarden,' guess you didn't learn that ;)</p>
<p>lilybbloom, actually the OP is correct. It's "kindergarten", which is German for "children's garden." Sorry, dear - next time check your facts.</p>
<p>I miss fingerpainting!</p>
<p>In major American cities, there are the kindergarten equilivents of ivies. they feed into top private elementary schools which feed into top middle/high schools which feed into top colleges. A couple of years ago, an American Express executive gave a million dollars to get his twins into a top NYC pre school.</p>
<p>I dunno ... the first few years of schooling is very important. If you can establish good habits then, chances are you'll have them for later on in life. Also you learn a lot of critical skills ... reading and such. Doesn't make sense to spend a million dollars on it though @__@</p>
<p>I only went to kindergarten...</p>
<p>the hick kindergartens are definitely the cornell of em. u get not only a top liberal arts education but also a pretty awesome ag program(aka lets go play with cows...tommy, dont step in those.....tommy, get out of the (insert word here) manure)</p>

<p>Wow! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.</p>
<p>Now, now, share and play nice children.</p>
<p>Yeah, the million bucks got some pretty ugly publicity. Imagine your perspective getting so out of control. But you know, it's really no different than the people asking if starting a non profit to fight disease will help them at colleges and then asking for disease suggestions. Ugly, ugly, ugly!!!!</p>
