Disagreement about pre-school

Here in my town once a year in several plaza have an education week. some off pre-school until graduate school offering their goodwill to educate our children. If you can find it in your city, why don't you ask your man to take a walk and looking for it. Ussually school shows and give explanation by word or videos about the benefit of their school. I hope your man able to know more about pre-school.

i agree with what most have said here. your husband might be mistaking preschool for daycase as you have said. my son started nursery when he was 4 years old. i didn't send him to preschool at 3 as it was too expensive for us to afford. but i noticed that like many have said, they tend to adjust better. my son was one of the slower ones in his class as he didn't know how to speak english. now he is in kindergarten 1 and he's so much better compared to my neighbour's son who was sent to a normal school inside my camp. in here, they tend to focus more on memory and is nothing like preschool at all. they'll just be doing tons of work so writing wise, the neighbour's son was better during nursery. but my neighbour decided that she wanted to send her son to school outside too and her son, who's the same age as my son seems to have difficulty adjusting to the school. i feel that it might be a similar case if you send your son later than others. other children will already have learnt many things as well as communicating to others and your son might feel the odd one out initially though they should be able to adjust. but as many have said, it's definitely better to send them to preschool when young because it is at this age that they pick up many new information. it's even been said by researchers that at the young age, they can retain information and learn new things much faster than when they are older.

My daughter is in preschool this year. She is 5. She missed the cut off for kindergarten because her birthday is in september. She absolutely loves preschool. The first day we took her it took us 20 minutes to talk her into coming home with us. And then she wouldn't talk to us the whole way home she was so mad at us for making her leave preschool. Preschool is not a bad thing. They have a lot of free time to play and they learn while having fun. My daughter has probably tripled what she knew before she started preschool. I think it has given her a nice "leg up" as they say, for kindergarten. I think your husband might be thinking of daycares. Just make sure you research whatever preschool you decide to send him to.

My wife and I decided to have only one child, and he is now five and started school about a month ago. We started him in preschool when he was three and a half(the terms of the preschool allowed the right amount of time before school!), because he was ready, and like you, we wanted him to have that extra interaction with other kids! By the time he got to school, he was really well adjusted to being with other kids and slotted in really well with them! I didn't like the idea of my son starting school, but that was from my own experiences as a kid, and I realise that times have changed and that my son is not me. Never have I told him that I didn't like school, and I probably never will(while he's going, at least). I think that the sooner a child goes to preschool, the sooner they fit in and adjust, and no matter how hard we try as parents, we can never be four year old playmates for our kids!

Now a days, preschool is almost a must. Kids know so much by the time they are in kindergarten. Plus as you said....the interaction with other children as well as learning some structure will just make her adjustment into kindergarten that much easier. Another thought...My youngest daughter is much younger than her 3 other siblings. She, too, was around much older people and none her own age. Here, pre-school is very costly and I could not afford it. So, what I did was visit various preschools as if I were possibly interested and asked them their curriculum. I had 3 days off per week. I found another girl , the same age, & on my days off, I became the pre-school for both girls. I charged enough to cover my costs of supplies and field trips. We did crafts, cooking, all sorts of trips and also learned a bit of writing and some math even. It was a lot of fun. The other girl was an only child and so it was perfect. On a small scale, they learned about sharing and interacting and they also had to get used to a structured day which was the most difficult part....they did it.

I think you have a long time before you need to decide about this. I left the decision up to my kids. I sent my oldest son for a few weeks when he was little. He absolutely hated it. I didn't force him to go. I sort of think the same way as your husband. Kids are in school so long as it is. I taught him (and the rest of my children) at home. They all went to Kindergarten and excelled. I think my son just wasn't ready and that is fine. He is now in the 4th grade and at the top of his class. You never know, by the time he is ready for preschool he may be begging to go (like my sister's kids) and your husband will probably change his mind in that case.

maybe he is earning enough to stop you from working and instead be a fulltime mom for your son. if you think financial is not problem at all well...... just be with your baby, remember he is only 10 months young...just enjoy and spend time with your son... for sure you'll gonna miss a lot of his development from 10 months old onwards..... just give time for being a mom!!..im sure its gonnabe fun!! ^_^
