I’m a SAHM so we simply couldn’t afford preschool and I was happy to be home with them. But our Kindergarten is a 7hour day, so the year before we are sending our oldest to a two day a week pre-k program so Kindergarten wont be such a shock to her system. And at this age she seems to crave lots of interaction with kids her age…. And I could use a little break. 🤞it all works well for us.

As a former preschool teacher with my degree in child and family studies I fully agree. If you don’t have to. Don’t. I was happy to be there for the families that needed me to be there for their child. However these little ones are not all doing well. Some thrived. But most were just waiting for their parents to come back for them. I will also add I taught at a full day preschool. So these little ones were with me for 8-9 hours. It’s just too much for most kids.

When I was growing up, kindergarten was more like preschool. Three hours only and a nap time. We colored, played with blocks, sang, etc. Our moms who had to work part-time or full time usually had several moms on the street who were always there for us. I could never have left my son at 6 weeks. I breast fed him until he was almost two, and I would never get that back and the fun we had if I had sent him off to so-called preschool.

My toddlers are going to a montesori center and while I love it, maybe next year we will skip for a few reasons. One is that they are very attached to me and it is still hard for them on many days to see me go. And the plan was for me to work but no one hires a mother who is on a tight schedule and may take many days off if the kids get sick.

A lot of places here in USA have it income based on to if your kid can even get into prek or not. My 4 year old didnt get in last yr or this year. We were told we make too much money both times. It made a relative of mine mad saying my son wont speak well or have friends til age 12 if he doesnt go! Wow! Some people don't think kids will survive the world if they don't go. It's not up to us parents sometimes even if they can go. Its up to the state.

If a child doesn't have an enriching home life or the parents need additional support, then it could be good for the child.

This morning in my home based "preschool, "which is three hours of early handson learning, we read two great books, learned a letter sound and 3 sight words, were introduced to a poem and Bible verse, played in learning centers, made a veggie pizza .. can preschool NOT daycare but preschool be very important in your childs life?

Thanks for this important video. I was thinking of sending my 4 years old to preschool who has delayed speech. He can read many books and knows his numbers and shape well never went to daycare. Do you have any suggestions regarding his speech ? Thank you so much

Hi, I don't want to send my 3y to peek but sometimes I feel guilty because we live in Canada and I don't speak fluent English yet, My husband is afraid of him being behind the others at Kindergarten

However we're a homeschooling family so we did preschool at home.

My daughter is in Tk and we are not happy with her class placement. She is high functioning and has mild cerebral palsy. They couldn’t find an inclusive classroom she’s segregated from the mainstream kids. I feel her day is too long 8:15-1:30 and it’s M-F. Drop off have been so hard. She clings to my leg 😢 and cries.

Is there a difference between preschool and pre-k? Do you think it's necessary to send children to pre-k?
