My children have done the same, and it's never failed to amaze me both how empathetic and how helpful toddlers and young children (aged up to pre-k) naturally are. There's also a HUGE gap in educability between the majority of kids who attended preschool (of any kind) and kids who stayed home until kindergarten. I'm not sure if this says more about kindergarten or preschool, but there's no question that the socialization and group learning environment of preschool helps kids adjust to primary school.
