Kindergarten Test Prep for Preschoolers in NYC

According to this article in the 11/20/09 New York Times by Sharon Otterman, more and more parents are sending their kids to test preparation classes to help them get into college kindergarten!

Test preparation has long been a big business catering to students taking SATs and admissions exams for law, medical and other graduate schools. But the new clientele is quite a bit younger: 3- and 4-year-olds whose parents hope that a little assistance — costing upward of $1,000 for several sessions — will help them win coveted spots in the city’s gifted and talented public kindergarten classes.
