My grandkid wants to go to school already. At 2.5 years, he is eager to learn about colors, read the alphabet, listen to stories, and count from 1 to 10.
This is the same tot that I have mentioned before, who had tantrum attacks.
I think it is still early for him to attend school, so I will just create a "class" at home and attend to whatever he can create.
What age would you allow a kid to attend a kindergarten class?

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Pretty didn't know the difference. She was at a "learning center" after we potty trained her at 1 1/2 years old anyway.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Wow! That's wonderful. I will think about it. The older ones got tired of school right away, that was why I am considering of delaying his schooling.

In India 2.5 kids do go to play schools. You are doing something right by creating a classroom. This will bring some discipline in him.

Well I wouldn't put a number on it .
It actually sounds to me that your grandson would probably enjoy the socialising with the other kids and his learning curve could really take off.
So I say if they are ready, want to do it, give it a try

I don't have children; but I would let them go to school once they were potty trained if they had an interest in learning.
