That jumped out at me too. I hope they are spending time with the little tyke.
It is amazing how far a couple of hours a day doing homeowrk with your child will go.
I am doing the public school thing with our kids and have set up college tuition accounts for both of them.
My financial advisor gave me a really cool idea.
When my son goes to college. I can buy a condo or small house in the town. I can rent it back to my kid and use the money in the college account to pay the rent. This assures you use all the money coming to you in the account. Plus now you own a rental property that can be sold 4 years later. Hopefully for a tidy profit. Then you could give your kid a great headstart in life. Worry about his career rather than where he/she will live.

I would suggest that early schooling is at least as important as later schooling. Setting the groundwork for a young mind will pay benefits for the rest of their life.

Yes it is, most schools today do not bother teaching cognitive skills. Developing a good relationship with your child is important too. Throwing them in daycare and not seeing them 12+ hours a day is not healthy.
