The thing I think that is different between preschool and these other options of which you guys speak is that preschool allows for more socializing with a larger number of "strange" children. It's primarily speculative, but I believe a lot of basic personality traits toward extroversion and introversion are developed at around that age, and preschool can allow your child to be more comfortable in that type of situation later in life (which happens a lot).
