I ii n llllinmiiinMiiwuiiiiPiiii. i uui at a scnooi. Karen B. - Nurserv school would be good lor Kip, mar velous for me. James B. - Our little son Kip is only 3 and already his mother is trying to duck out of taking care of him. She wants to register him in an all-day nursery school so she can be free to do what she wants. Can't she wait for kinder garten at least? The poor kid will have enough years to go to school without tacking on a few extra ones at this end. She tries to tell me Kip will have a good time there and pick up new words and new abilities. The only thing I hear oi youngsters that age picking up is disease. He's still entitled to stav I close to home and with his mother. Karen is shirking her duty to want to farm him out at this age. Karen B. - Jim makes the idea sound grim. Actually it will be sheer joy for Kip and n big break for me because it will make it possible for me to take a part-time job. So, indirectly Jim and our home will be benefited, too. There's a fine nursery school in the community house near our home. Instead of playing alone at home or in the park, Kip can have a dozen playmates. And there's a wonderful variety of equip ment - blocks, wagons and playhouses. Besides, there are experienced teachers who help the kids settle their squabbles and teach them lit tie games. And each mother must help. I'll have to serve lunch and set up cots once a week. That's why I'll only sign up for three days a week as a salesclerk. The Council: You ve heard 01 suocontracting, Jim. if there were some phase of your own job that could be per formed better by a specialist, we'll bet you'd farm it out, 1 cot it back, and enjoy the way it enhances your final result. Even though Karen is i ni'nlint? with nrncinus human jfc. material here, the analogy ! fea still Holds, sue isn t snirmng. She's ameliorating. All depends upon the pro fessional qualifications of the nursery school personnel. If it's a fly-by-night setup which merely "parks" the little ones so that their mothers may flit, Jim's right and should put his foot down on keeping Kip at home. But if the center is well run, with daily health inspection and a licensed kin dcrgartner in charge, we're all for Kip trying it. Usually these live-wire schools exact so much parent participation, from fathers as well as moth ers, that the whole family -not just the pre-schooler -winds up as part of the- ven ture. Kir) won't be shunted off 1o school. His parents will be there, too, via their interest, services and enthusiasm. Why not? Jim ought .not let the word "school" mislead him. Little Kip will be doing what comes naturally only much more of it - playing, singing, clobbering and get ting clobbered. The difference is that he's more likely to learn something constructive each day. some of the rules of How to Succeed from the way his teachers handle each situation, than if he ' played alone with only a preoccupied mother around to yell, "Stop that'' every few minutes. If Jim were to visit a good r.ursery school, perhaps the neighborhood one Karen de scribes, he'd find it much more than merely custodial. Children really grow there, "dare'' to try new experi ments in play and behavior, learn to give as well as take And above all. their transi tion from home to school is so fci smooth as to be almost imper ceptible. As to Jim's misgivings about Karen joining the work ing mothers, a Stanford univer sity stiuly of kindcrsartners found no significant differ ences between children of tile latter and children whose mothers stayed home Once Kip enrolls, we have a hunch his dad will he one of the croup "f fond fathers who turn un one night a week to lrpair swipes and paint "tiny towns" red.
