Rana Rudell: Depends on your child and what your goal is. My cousin put his daughter into preschool at 3 for 2 days a week. She doesn't have many play opportunities with other children. In my area, it is really hard to find a non-church run preschool for 3 year olds. The county actually offers some preschools for 4 and 5 year old kids (not free) as the preschool run by the school district is restricted to those children who are at risk (poverty, preemies, slow development).
Deangelo Marchak: He's a young 3 but it won't hurt for a few days a week in a half day program for the play and socialization skills that he can learn. If it's an academic preschool then it really depends on him and his abilities. Being a young 3 he may not be able to do all the things older 3's can at the same time. If you have concerns about it I would talk to the teachers and director about them and find out more about their curriculum and preschool procedures. Usually if they know up fro! nt and know you're willing to work with him at home on things he needs to they will work with you at most places to make it successful for the child. Give it a shot and if it just doesn't click well you can always pull him out and wait a year and try again or work with him at home in addition to finding a good play group once a week or other program for children that are his age for peer interaction.My son was 2 and did a preschool program with him as well as a few other activities for kids his age at our church. He was an only child and I wanted it for social aspects for him with kids his age group more than anything. They did do some teaching and lessons there but he wasn't learning anything because he knew most of what they were doing all ready. We kept the additional activities going for him but pulled him out at the end of the first quarter from preschool and worked with him at home. He took off and learned his colors, all the geometric shapes by sight and name, cou! nts to 20 and knows about half his alphabet. He also excelled ! at basic tracing of lines for pre writing, sorting by attributes and other areas. We recently bought plants to start a vegetable garden in our yard this summer so he can learn about how plants grow and help pick the vegetables when they are ready to eat. He's three now and I plan to get him into something like T Ball for the early summer and continue working with him on swimming skills this summer as well since he learned to do that last summer as well. For us it made more sense to go the home schooling route for a little while and assess where he is by kindergarten before deciding to continue at home or put him in a program somewhere for that....Show more
Tosha Tawney: i have no idea - i don't know your son.my oldest (nearly 24) started preschool without a backward glance when she was 4.my second child (now 21) wasn't ready until she was six.my youngest (now 3) started a little after 2yrs of age but it took over a month for her to settle in (i didn't have a choi! ce in the matter - it was a developmental therapy issue)....Show more
Nia Monopoli: If your state has a Parents as teachers office, they will test him to see if hes ready or not. he has to be 3 before they will .
Coleman Coscia: No if he's showing that he's ready to learn his abc's and 123's then try to sign him up the school will tell you if he can't or can.
Booker Moros: Whenever u feel he's ready, some of the kids that were in my son's preschool class had just turned 3 or were almost 3 when they started in the 3 year old program at the preschool, others were closer to 3/1/2 (for this preschool the child normally hasta be 3 before Oct. 1st to start preschool in Sept.)It really depends on ur preschools rules and if ur son's ready or not.My son started preschool (3 year old program), at only 15 months old, but he's very advanced for his age, and he was let in after he was tested and found to be ready for preschool.Hope this helps and good luck, :DEDIT: Pra! deep, where are u getting ur info from? Children who go to preschool a! round age 3 or so does not stop them from growing at all, that is just ridiculous lol....Show more
