Raye Tredennick: no 3 is right age for pre school
Joaquin Dronko: Preschool for three year olds just really isn't necessary, and really doesn't improve their skills unless they are delayed. If you do decide, look for a program that is a couple half days a week, lasting about 3 hours max. Or, you can 'teach at home', and take your child out to park programs or story time for 'social skills'.
Marielle Hedeiros: Sending him two years for preschool is a wonderful idea. He will be ahead of students who do not attend preschool at all. Not just in academics (letter, colors, shapes, numbers) but also in self help and social emotional areas. Consider sending him five days a week for half the day.Don't worry about him being an older kindergartener when he does go. This is often favorable for boys. Many parents even delay boy's entry on purpose....Show more
Tamatha Neubaum: Many children start at 3 years old and many at 4 years old and they generally all do ju! st fine whenever they start. The main thing to consider is the uniqueness of your child when picking a preschool.Is he socially shy or a social butterfly?Is he highly active or does he alternate between active and calmer activities?Is he verbally ready to communicate with most anyone?Is he emotionally ready for some independence or is he still very clingy?Is he toilet-trained? (some schools require this)You might look for preschools which offer a variety of scheduling options to see how he adapts to it and then add more hours when he is ready for it.I have a 3-year-old and his school offers 3 mornings a week, 5 mornings a week, and 5 full days as different scheduling options....Show more
Filiberto Ranalli: call around to community daycares. My daycare (that's in Ohio) has somewhat time preschool classification geared for 3 year olds. We additionally ask that little ones be 3 in the previous college starts off, yet while they're potty knowledgeable, and almost 3, we ar! e able to take them. interior the three year previous room we ! artwork on following instructions and working with different little ones as they have often no longer been in a lecture room atmosphere in the previous. We additionally do shapes, colours, letters and phonics, numbers and counting, artwork, technology, etc. etc....Show more
Rachell Meese: I would put him in preschool. :) I have a 5 year old boy who just started kindergarten this year. He started preschool when he was about 3. He is my first child and the social interaction with other children his age was great. Plus he got over his "separation issues" and learned how to interact with other adults besides his family. The preschool he attended wasn't very structured, so the children weren't forced to participate in activities that they did not want to participate in. If I could do it differently I would have put him in a "structured" preschool. The curriculum in kindergarten (at least in California) is much more complex than when I attended and i think that the "structu! red" preschool would have boosted him a little more. Overall I am happy that I made the decision to put him in. You could always try it for a month and see how you both like it and if i doesn't work out, just remove him! :)...Show more
Raven Purl: yes take him to school
Adam Momaya: Definately an answer that is going to be different for every family/child. I usually recommend at least one year of preschool, the year before attending Kindergarten. However, there are some children that benefit from 2 years. Only children, oldest children, youngest child, a child who is developing a bit slower than typical, a child who has not been seperated from his mom and/or if primary caregiving has been by grandparents, etc. Also, if he has to be in child care anyway...better to find a child care that offers a preschool program as well as child care. Good luck in your decision making....Show more
Reyes Brunell: In the UK both my Grandsons started preschool at 3 and ! loved it. They were only there for 3/4 mornings a week. All the kids at! their school at 5 had also been, so they were all at the same level.It really does develop social skills.
May Stands: In some schools they do accept 3 year old so yeah you should send him to school so he gets a head start and by the time he finishes high school he will be a year younger.
