At what age should you start sending your kid to pre-schoo?

Question

My son is 2 and most of my friends have already started sending their kids of the same age to school. Am I crazy thinking he's still too young to go?

Answer 1

i think i answered ur question earlier - but one more point

many schools qualify kindergarten at age four - others at 4 - indian school - depending on the date of birth - 3 years - so u'll have to find that out too.

dont tense ur self too much -  u have time - he has just learned to talk right - enjoy his babbles  and do ur homework too!

Answer 2

The official preschool age is two years and nine months.

Answer 3

Two is a little young, but there are some parents who think getting their kids in early will enhance their education.  It actually burns them out by grade one , they don't care anymore.

Depending on where you live  jr and senior kindergarten are offered, with in some juristictions senior k being a full day event.

JK requires kids to be 4 by dec. 31 of that year usually and I say that's really early enough having taught jk- 8 during my teaching career.

Mums and dads should be reading to kids, taking them out to different places, having play dates with other kids, going to parks and other places where kids can get exercise.   In general getting them ready to learn.

All this baby einstein stuff and teaching them asl are frills , too many parents don't bother to just enjoy baby until he/she is two and three and then ready for jk.  Five and ten year plans are good businesses but children aren't commodities and people forget that.

Then they wonder why they have surly pre-teen or teenager, who's bored.  Too much too soon.

Answer 4

private pre-school, never. Headstart  or a schools of standard 3 or 4 years. thumbs up to you you are a great mom!!! Investigate  and never get confortable with a private preschool they are lions in sheep clothing. You don't know me but for your childs sake trust me

Answer 5

Most people send them to pre-school as soon as they get too lazy to watch them themselves.

Answer 6

I sent my son at 4 which is good before kindergarten to make sure they get along with other children.

Answer 7

That's way too young 5 is a better age, that's when my mom started sending me to pre-school.
