How is preschool different than, say, having a nanny?  What happens with preschool turns out to be different than what you expected?  Host Alexandra Dutton talks with Garrett O'Brien (OFS Mill Valley) and Susie Kohl (White Pony Preschool) about managing your expectations as a parent whose child is starting preschool and how to have a great experience.  No surprise here -- it begins with trust!

What is the Role of Preschool?

Listen to this while you're on a walk!  Dorothy and Alex talk with Sharol Embry (naturalist with East Bay Regional Parks) and Cindy Margulis (Executive Director of Golden Gate Audubon Society) about how to explore nature with young children.  Nature can be a destresser and offers ways to build compassion -- but only when you allow your children time to enjoy the beautiful outdoors.  Sharol and Cindy share stories that show it's simple to get children to love nature.
