I agree with you. My bottom line is that the article is so misleading because between all of us on here, we can't come up with one scenario where this program is accepting the children of middle-class people who work hard but can't afford day care.

I wonder if all the inquiring callers and people on the waiting list have already had their children tested and found that they are eligible for the program.

Good question. I would THINK they aren't on the waiting list until they have been tested. That is a lot of kids who would fall behind. The tests are insanely easy. If a child can't pass the test, he is a child in serious trouble. If you read to your child, interract with your child, encourage speech and constructive playtime, teach your child English, your kid is not going to get into that program.
