Hannah Levy holds her daughter, Aylah, 6, at Codornices Park, a location Aylah attended as a Berkeley Forest School student, during an interview in Berkeley, Calif., Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2023. Some parents like Levy don't see much value in traditional kindergarten. She wanted Aylah to enjoy being a kid. There is plenty of time, she reasoned, for her daughter to develop study skills.
