They can learn from everything they see, hear, and do. Isn't it funny when they mention something sophisticated and you have no idea where they heard it? =) You’re right, Bridget – the world is truly their classroom.

I feel sometimes like I don't do enough "school" time with my 4 year old, but then she learns to spell and read "exit" on the airplane and "stop" from stop signs and tells my parents that when you swallow your food it goes down your esophagus (I must have told her this at some point in casual conversation). Especially in the preschool years, I think an environment rich in experiences and conversation and books is as important as "school" time. Thanks for the post! This post really hit home for me.
