This seems like the German Nazi plan to capture children at earlier and earlier ages to indoctrinate them.  I do not like the idea of families turning early childhood education over to institutional settings. Learning love and laughter, communication with adults (caregivers) in a family like setting seems to be the the least we can do for the children when we leave them for long periods while parents work. Parents who leave their children and both work outside the home receive benefits that stay home moms do not receive.  There seems to be some disparity.  Once they start the every school thing there will be a move to make it mandatory.
