Question

to school so bad every day she talks about going to school, and she never been. she turns 5 years old in january 4, 2008 how do I find a good preschool entill then

Answer 1

Call the school your child will attend next year. Ask for a recommendation.  Also, ask about Head Start (which is free).

Answer 2

All 4 yr. olds want to go to school!  See if there is a head start program in your area!  Your local school should be able to tell you.

Answer 3

Pre-Schools are generally pretty easy to find. A lot of times, you can just find a neighbor that runs a school in their basement. Or you could just pre-home-school her, teach her the ABCs and colors. Most little kids love playing school at home. And continue encouraging her to love school. That is good.

Answer 4

search around

Answer 5

Shop around, talk to other mothers, visit daycares, use the internet to see ratings on daycares - we have that in our town.

Answer 6

i suggest you get her a tutor. then she will be smarter and ahead of all the other children. and tell her this is what they have to do before they go to school.

Answer 7

try the city hall! they should know of any head start that the city offers near you home..thats how i enrolled my son

Answer 8

Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find out how reputable a preschool is. Call local preschools for information and be sure to take a tour of the facility. Take your daughter with you to see how she reacts and socializes with other children.

Answer 9

try going to the school that you want her to enroll in... sometimes they offer a section of the school set aside for preschoolers.

Not only that, even if they don't have one, just ask the school for references to a preschool

Answer 10

She will be 5 soon enough. Put her in Pre-School, or teach her stuff like counting, and the ABCs.

Answer 11

Trust me when she gets too high school she will want too leave

Answer 12

Call your local NOCAC who will refer you to a good quality preschool - they will know the teacher's qualifications, you can check out their ratings on the web, Step Up to Quality ratings - so many ways to check out a preschool.  Talk to parents - word of mouth is one of your best resources for finding the best preschool for YOUR child.

Answer 13

The website http://www.greatschools.net/ gives you access to every school's State Report Card, area demographics, and reviews by parents who have experience with the school, among many other statistics.  All you have to do is input the school's name, or search by the area in which you live (zip code).  You can even compare all schools within a district.  Preschools generally fall under elementary schools.  

Good luck.

Answer 14

Hi, I started school when I was 3 years old. Every child develops at different stages. It could be your child is ready for school, and you can enroll her in school for this year. Or it could be that she hears a lot about school from older siblings and therefore wants to go too. Or you can send her to preschool. The best way to find out about a good one is through references and word of mouth. Ask around to friends and neighbors where they sent their children and your sure to find a good one that way.

Answer 15

ASk around and find out what everyone else thinks is a good place.

Answer 16

Go around to local preschools and see what they have to offer. She can go with you and tell you which one she likes best, too.

Answer 17

tell her that you are going to have school there at home for her until she is older, set her down in front of your computer and go to starfall.com.  she will learn more there as far as ABC and reading than she will anywhere else and get a good start on her future education.

Answer 18

Do some research into local preschools in your area by touring them, finding out about their curriculum and talking to parents in your area about where they send their children.  You may also want to check with the school district in which you live, they often have Early Childhood Programs for much less than a non accredited preschool.

Answer 19

ask othe rparents  even check with the school about what they reccomend

Answer 20

Its pre-schools all over, believe me you can find one. She should have been in school at 3 and if shes turning five she should be in kinder-garden now. Hurry!

Answer 21

let her go. visit local schools with her, until you find her a match.  watch how she interacts with the other staff and the children.  Isn't she almost ready for kindergarten?

Answer 22

that a good idea

Answer 23

Greetings!  There are all kinds of different preschools, depending on cultural interests, cognitive interests, amount of income and the like.

For example, I'm a Head Start teacher, and we have a very wide and culturally adaptable program for three and four year old children, even children who turn five after the Kindergarten cut off date.  Our particular program is for very low income families however.

Montessori is another school to be considered if you want to sharpen your child's cognitive mind.  This program tends to be very expensive.

If you  are a middle income parent or a stay at home parent, I would strongly recommend looking into cooperative nursery schools.  The tuition is much cheaper, but you will be expected to volunteer in the classroom on scheduled days and also attend mandatory parent meetings.  

I went to a cooperative nursery school as a child and truly loved the experience.  My parents did also.

I hope that helps.  Take care.

Answer 24

try the ymca near you

Answer 25

You must get her into PRESCHOOL.  I teach kindergarten and it is not like it was 20 - 30 years ago.  She must go being socialized, knowing rules of classrooms, how to write her name, knowing letters, sounds, and counting to 20.  Get on it.  Research, ask friends, look online or in the yellow pages, just do it.

Answer 26

Children go to preschool when they are 4 or even younger, she should already be in one.

You don't have to wait until she's 5!!!

Ask some of the people around where you live, or try google.

Good luck!
