Newborn & Baby | | | my child is 27 months, do you think it is time for her to go to the preschool? The preschool in my area (2 blocks from my home) accepts just children from 3 years old but there is a private one that can take her, what do you think? I don't work and I was thinking about waiting until next year when she will be more indipendent, what do you suggest
another question: she starts to love cartoons, she loves Handy Manny, for how many hours she can watch tv?
| | A. | Why do you want to send your 2 year old to preschool when you do not work? Can't you teach her her colors and numbers and read to her yourself? As for the tv watching my answer is : NONE! If she must watch tv, then 15 minutes here or there. NOT HOURS! | | | |
| Q. | When should I start preschool for my daughter? | Related Search:
Toddler & Preschooler | | | She is turning 4 in April and I'm wondering about preschool. She has never been in any kind of day care & hasn't been exposed to babysitting much. I'm worried about putting her in preschool, but don't want her to be behind when school starts. I also know she could use the social interaction but am afraid preschool will be too much for her since she isn't use to being away from home that much. Any thoughts/suggestions from other mothers of preschoolers?
She is 3, but will turn 4 in April 2008. There seems to be some confusion.
| | A. | No worries! Many children don’t start preschool until they are three or four. It will be best for her to start in September so she will be better prepared for kindergarten socially. Social readiness is so important! She will get two full years under her belt before kindergarten. Children who have experience with school before starting kindergarten do much better than children who do not. They are better prepared to make friends, take direction from their teachers, understanding a classroom routine, join in playground activities, and have a greater respect for their classroom.
You don’t need to put her in an all day program. She can start 3 days a week, no more than 3 hours a day. When she gets older you can add another day. Many Montessori schools offer this option. If you haven’t, check a few out!
Make a list of several schools in your area to look at. Give the schools a call and ask any questions you may have (Hours of operation, tuition, sick policy, CPR training, school philosophy…). Ask how long the teachers have been at the program. Good schools keep their teachers. Once you have selected a few, go and observe each program without your daughter, if you can, so you can get a good feel for the program. Be a “fly on the wall” and watch how the teachers and children interact. You may want to ask the teachers a few hypothetical questions such as “What would you do if a child refused to sit at circle?” “What would you do if a child bit another child?” “What would you do if a parent brought their sick child to school?” just to get an idea if their ideas fit yours. Go with your gut!
Once you have found a program you can then take your daughter for a visit. Do your best not to feel apprehensive about it or she will pick up on your feelings. You can arrange some play dates with some of her classmates before she starts to help her feel more comfortable. Between now and September, you can take her for a few more visits and drive by often. This will greatly help with the transition of separating from you and give her a little time to have something to look forward to.
Relax and good luck! | | | |
| Q. | How do I make my preschool a private preschool? | Related Search:
Toddler & Preschooler | | | I'm planning to open my own preschool hopefully in the next two years, but I would like it to be a private preschool. I don't want to have to deal with DHR. It will not be a religous school, only private. How can I do this?
| | A. | contact your state department of education for information | | | |
| Q. | What is the difference between a private preschool and a public preschool? | Related Search:
Newborn & Baby | | | I ask because I have never heard of a free preschool and I just learned that my daughter's preschool is considered a private preschool. It has no religious affiliation so I know that isn't the difference.
Thanks.
So looking around the internet I learned that a private preschool is a prepartory preschool. I thought all preschools where intended as such?
O.K. so is a public preschool the same as a headstart program?
| | A. | MONEY $$ ANYTHING PRIVATE WHETHER RELIGION AFFILIATED OR NOT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR.. BUT IT ALSO MEANS SMALLER CLASS SIZES AND ATTENTIVE TEACHERS | | | |

| | A. | Preschool has advantages and disadvantages. Whether or not it is right for your daughter is largely dependent upon her personal strengths and weaknesses, as well as the school you might send her to.
Some of the advantages of preschool are a structured environment, varied activities (including scholastics, art, and science as well as play), the opportunity to practice social skills (especially turn-taking), and the opportunity to develop confidence being independent. A good preschool will encourage all areas of growth and include them all in their programs.
Some of the disadvantages of preschool are the cost, loss of parent-child interaction time, and the opportunity to develop negative social skills. A child who goes to preschool/day care is more likely to initiate aggression in grade school than one who stays in a family setting. While a case can be made for a child standing up for him/herself, no parent wants their child to be a bully.
Go with your gut on this one, as you know your daughter best and can be trusted to make the best decision for her. | | | |

Preschool | | | I'm not talking about daycare, but preschool.
I want my daughter to go to preschool this fall, before she starts kindergarten next year. I really think it will help her out and get her ready for kindergarten. Preschool is only a couple of hours a day, usually 2 or 3 days out of the week. Well, my husband is starting to freak out that it's just going to cost too much for her to go. I think he's being ridiculous, it's not like we're paying for college at age four!
| | A. | Preschool in our area which is called Headstart is free.
The children go to school half a day, five days a week.
