I read an article at http://www.azcentral.com/families/articles/0316kidspodcast0316.html entitled, Podcasting craze spreads to children’s programming.
This artilce discussed how more and more parents are becoming aware of how to use their kid’s iPods for educational uses. A growing number of parents are looking for podcasts for their children that are educational, age appropriate and fun, but parents don’t where to look. The article offered a few suggestions for parents: http://recap.ltd.uk/podcasting www.familyfriendlypodcast.com and thesugarmonster.com . I just wonder, how many parents in my area (Westmoreland County, PA) are familiar with podcasts? I would love to send home a survey at my school and just see how technologically advanced my parents are. I know my school district doesn’t use podcasts at all, and now that I see what is out there, I wish we would!

I cannot agree with you more that all children should be enrolled into a pre-k program. I worked for two years in pre-k, and it was a great experience. I think more children would be enrolled in these programs if public schools had preschools. Sending a child to preschool can be very expensive unless you send your child to a Head Start program, and if I am correct, you have to make less than a certain amount to qualify to be in Head Start. It is hard for the people that are in between income categories to pay for the child to attend preschool.
