James B. - A 3-vear.nM ho.
longs home with his mother, !
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.
