Kindergarten, in my opinion, was more about developing social skills than a pre-first grade prep academy. Having said that, since so many people now are getting involved in Twitter, FB, Snap Chat, online multiplayer games, etc. rather than actual physical social interaction, maybe an online kindergarten is exactly what is needed so people can learn good online behavior at an early age. Actually it is a brilliant idea.
