Treating preschoolers like they're applying for an Ivory League school? Four yrs old is supposed to be important for kids educational requirement. The rumor here is your whole academic life is all decided by 11 years old. Maybe some truth in it. My youngest daughter has a Birthday in October. I tried to get her into a special school aged 4 but they decided she was kinda backward anyway, and she would not have started actual school until aged 6! I informed the school to GFY's and said I would leave the country and put her through school in the UK. Education should be every kids right, and it should be of a good standard. It's does not mean you have to turn it into a "last man standing" contest imho. It's not that expensive really.

Funny <ng> - similar thing happened here in boston. I was visiting some preschools/daycare for my 3+ yr old and one place actually had a "list of alumni" who got accepted into the "premier kindergarten schools" in town.
