A mother in New York is suing her 4-year-old daughter's posh preschool, calling it "one big playroom" that deprived the child of the edge needed to get into an elite primary school.

Caught up in New York City's "insanely competitive" nursery school scene, Nicole Imprescia said she paid US$19,000 ($26,000) annual tuition to York Avenue Preschool and she wants it back.
