i heared age four as the beginning to mathematical understanding. sure socialization is important, but why would that precludes the abillity to calculation, maybe without the formal approach.

Nothing precludes you teaching your children about mathematics. That's something you can easily do at home for 5-10 minutes every day or two. With my four year old I do this, and also practice things like the alphabet, but it's not something I expect her preschool to do.
Preschool should be about group play, socialization and getting ready for kindergarden. It shouldn't be about academics.
