Example Sentences
- "The argument that low-income prekindergartners would thrive on a regimen of academics and direct instruction does not take into account that these children, even more than middle-class youngsters, need a rich preliteracy experience with the hands-on interactions that all children relish (Ann Hulbert, Oct. 28)."
Etymology
From pre- + kindergartner.
