Not GP, but as someone with a small child, there are two big reasons. Kids between the ages of 1-6 require pretty much constant attention/interaction/supervision, this makes it very hard to work from home. Virtual instruction tends to just be a frustrating experience for everyone and still requires just as much parental supervision. The second (and more important in my opinion) is that the primary developmental events that take place at kindergarten age are social. How to interact and relate to others individually and as groups. For cognitive development, it is structured imaginative play that is critical, and near impossible to do virtually. Many parents fear their children will miss out on this key developmental stage.
