What is the ideal age of sending a child to school?

Oh well, at 3 and half years old, the best school for your child yet is your own home, you as the mother being the teacher. I think it's still too early. It might be good to allow more space to grow. It is you who is excited but the child will easily get bored of school with that age. But it is just my own opinion and have the final decision as a parent, but for me, the ideal would be 5 years old and above.

i have seen a topic from discovery channel about sending to school a child to make him smarter.an special school caters for babies and kids to make them genius in the school.as early as 9 moths old they can enroll in that special school for developing on how to get your kid to be smart in the future.thus it helps developing the brain at earliest time it can absorb all the teaching just like a sponges it can absorbs as much as water.

Hi crisanta,

I am a first time mum and this question is pretty good info for me.

I am a mother of 1 little boy, he is going to be 3 years old next year February. I plan to sent him for school/nursery next year. I am bit worried whether he will get use to his new environment or not.
It is a kinda of new challenging task for me too,I have to learn how to handle his first day go school.

As I am taking care my son by myself, he is quite stick to me. So I believe he sure will cry during his first few days school and will look for me all the time. I have to prepare myself well to face all these problems.

By sending him to nursery, my son can learn how to socialize with other kids,learn new things and more expose to outside world rather than at home with me all the time.
