How old was your child when he or she started school?

Question

I was looking at some old pictures and I was in pre-school at age 3 (I'm 32 now). I'm thinking putting my daughter in school at 3 as well. I know of some parents that do not want their children to start school until age 6...that's a little too late for me.

Answer 1

All of my kids started/will start at 3yrs in a 3-4yr class going 2 mornings a week. The following year they went 4 times a week for a pre-kindergarten class and then started kindergarten the following year aht 5.5yrs.

Kids learn 10x being at home and interacting with their parents, but I think they need to socialize and be in a school environment as well. With all of the learning disabilities and lack of social skills children have now a days because of the zillion different reasons, partisipating in some kind of school or organized enviornment before kindergarten is a pretty good idea.

Answer 2

its usually when u are 4 or 3

Answer 3

Preschool between 2 and 3, kindergarten by 5 and regular school at 6. I think going to a preschool with actual age defined class rooms helps to teach disciplines and skills that will be needed when they start actual elementary school. It helps for them to follow a curriculum so that they can pass the test for kindergarten. Many children are reading before the actually start kindergarten.
