Where I live, kids don't start kindergarten until age 6, so it depends on your own preference when you want them to start preschool. There are some parents that start them at age 3, while others not until age 4. Actually, some don't even send them to preschool. It is up to the parents.

Answer 10

I taught my children from the day they were born, parents are the first teachers for their children.  I only sent my children for some preschool at age 3 and 4 so they would learn socialization.  There is so many books that are out there for stay-at-home Mom's just buy one and play school with him until you feel you want a break for a couple of hours a day.

Preschool starts at the age of 3 years. Pre-k starts at the age of 4 years. Then off to Kindergarden. My daughter just turned 3 and she starts school in September.  

Answer 12

It depends on where you live.  When I was a kid, you went to preschool when you were 4.  Where I live now, preschool is for 3-year olds.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Preschool as in a childcare facility as soon as 6 weeks. Normally the schooling at a child care facility takes place around 2 where there is more structure of a learning program. If you are talking about a regular school (elementary) 4 is average for pre-kindergarden and 5 for kindergarden.
