public schools

At 5 you are just entering into Kindergarden. Kindergarden is a great age to start making friends and if you stay where you are and grow up with these kids from your school then you have alot of friends to go on to middle school and even high school with. I did that and i knew so many kids by the time i was in high school and i have a great school experience all the way until i graduated. The kindergarden teachers are great watchers and they even learn from there children in there class at times. Public schooli believe is better than private because private schools are the same teachers and same kids in every class that you dont get out and see what is going on in the school. Enjoy Mylotting

I think it is hard to let go at any age. No matter what school they go to the problems will be the same. How do you trust what's happening at school? Well, you need to listen to your child every day. Are they basically happy coming home? As far as them being okay, I think they are pretty safe. Background checks and things like that are done on teachers. My biggest fear is the children not learning as much as they should. It is important to be sure you feel your child is making progress in school. In Kindergarten the kids can be friends one day, then not be the next. Learning how to be a friend is part of being 5, and social development is a lot of what Kindergarten is about.
