Sharee Doak: I sent all 4 of my children to preschool and looking back i have no idea why i sent two of them, the hated it from the minute i sent them until they left to go to school.I sent them because everyone else was sending their child/ren, and i thought it was the right thing to do.I took them to a place for 3 days a week that they hated because i thought i was doing the right thing.If i could do it all over again i would have kept them at home and taught them things that they will never learn at preschool, they aren't child genius and they aren't ahead of all the other children.saying all that my other two children loved it and i couldn't have been happier when i saw them on stage at Christmas singing Christmas songs and enjoying themselves.there isn't one person on here that can tell you what to do - you know if your little girl will benefit from preschool or whether she will be happier staying where she is.Good luck....Show more
Kim Gerbino: Preschool is a! good thing, my son has been in preschool since he was 3 he is now 4, and he loves it sooo much and learns a lot, he was student of the month in October!
Avis Brantner: I'd say keep her in the child care, and find a part-time pre-k program that runs half a day. Children thrive on consistancy, and although she does love to learn, a familiar enviroment is the best for children. Also just because she does not come home with many projects, developmentally speaking, children learn best through hands on activities and believe it or not, through structured play. If your provider is doing these things then your child is well on her way to being ready for kindergarten....Show more
Chris Rosenkranz: thanks to everyone who has responded. i also wanted to say that i am concerned about the transition. in the morning when i drop her off she always wants to be cuddled for a few moments by the provider. if anyone other than the provider is there, she cries when i leave.
Adan Alipio: First and for most, she's your daughter and ! regardless of who's feelings it may hurt, you have to do what's best for your daughter and beginning her education. At 3 you should start her in some sort of schooling. Try it out for a couple of days in a school and a couple days still at her daycare...just to get her acclimated. Good Luck!!
Elden Dedon: Child care is a broad topic covering a wide spectrum of contexts, activities, social and cultural conventions, and institutions and Preschool education (or infant education) is the provision of learning to children before the commencement of statutory and obligatory education, usually between the ages of three and five, depending on the jurisdiction.
Mee Blumenfeld: She's 3 let her be a kid. Some recent studies are finding that all this early learning is unneccessary. One study showed that if a child started school at age nine they would catch up academically in 1 year to children who are in preschool at age 3. They learn faster because their brains are more de! veloped.We wonder why kids are stressed and suffering from burn out by the time they reach high school, I think it's the pressure parents put on them to learn, let them play, that's how they learn at 3....Show more
Jefferson Sarson: I'd say preschool
Roxane Leathers: First I want to say that every child is different, and you need to decide what you really think is best for your daughter!Having said that, I was a preschool/daycare teacher for years. Personally, I think that a child at your daughter's age needs consistency more than "schooling". At her age, what do you really need to teach her that you cannot do yourself at home? You can read books with her, teach her colors, teach her letters, etc.. at home. Taking her out of the childcare setting could emotionally set her back, but she is little and would get over it. If she was my child, I would probably just keep her in the childcare situation for now. Maybe a year from now if you really thought she need! ed preschool she could start then. Otherwise she could go from childca! re to kindergarten! Lots of people have done that (including me) and have turned out great! Don't feel pressured to put her in childcare because of what other people think or say. Take the time and make the decision yourself and you could also always talk to your daughter about it! She might have an opinion....Show more
