Preschool
There are no mandatory public prekindergarten or crèche programs in the United
States. The federal government funds the Head Start preschool program for
children of low-income families, but most families are on their own with regard
to finding a preschool or childcare.
In the large cities, there are sometimes upper-class preschools catering to the
children of the wealthy. Because some upper-class families see these schools as
the first step toward the Ivy League, there are even counselors who specialize
in assisting parents and their toddlers through the preschool admissions
process.
