Question

My sweet daughter is 16 months old can i send her to play school is it necessary?

Answer 1

Too young!!!  This is a special bonding time for you and her.  I think she'll benefit more if she stays home with Mommy for another couple of years at least.  THEN join something like a library story time that the two of you can participate in together.  People push their kids to do too much too early these days; DO NOT feel pressured!  Enjoy having that innocent little sweetheart all to yourself for now.  There's plenty of time for school later.  God bless you!

Answer 2

Yes you can.  I don't know that it's necessary as long as she gets interaction with other children in some other way

Answer 3

They are only little once and time is precious with them.On wednesdays most churchs offer a mothers day out.I would look into sending her to that so she can play with other kids its like 2 hours and you can go grocery shop alone or do an errand.

But my grandbaby was 3 this yr and all i heard was why is she not in preschool...ok i had four other kids and 24 24  and older ..i tried to send to montessori she was afraid of nuns.Screamed i wasnt doing it not worth it and all my kids have been in gifted classes and done well with others ...so i dont get into the whole lets send the kids out the door policy.

good luck!!!!

Answer 4

Its not necessary, but if she is an only child or has no siblings close to her age it is a good way for her to learn to start socializing and learning certain skills as sharing toys and group work.

Answer 5

I think it's still a bit early for her.  I believe it's a good idea, especially if she's an only child.  It will help socialize her, prepare her for kindergarten and elementary school.  But personally I think she's still too young.  I think 2 1/2 to 3 years old would be perfect.  

I stayed home with my daughter until she was 18 months old, then I got a part time job during the hours when my ex husband was home.  When she was 3, I got a job at a daycare center.  She came with me, I got a huge discount, and she loved playing with the other kids, the playground, the arts & crafts, everything.

Answer 6

If she's an only child, its a nice way of helping her to make friends, learning to share etc etc.

Answer 7

Oh they go so early as it is.

I just joined a mommy & Me playgroup, so she could interact but I was there with her.

Answer 8

it depends.

if you want her to get the experience of the outside world other than home and you want her to be able to get use to being with other toddlers and staff, then yeah
