It is too you for a three year old child to go to school?

All 3 of our girls went to preschool at an early age. Our oldest daughter was 3 when I enrolled her in classes. She learned to intermingle with other children, share and some discipline other than home. It was good for our girls. When they started regular school, they were somewhat adjusted to a classroom, listening to the teacher and following directions. They were sick more often but looking back, it was well worth it. They all grew up to be very normal adults with good careers. Proud mama here.

I highly recomend enrolling as young as possible. (espessially if she is your first or only child) In preschool or nursery school there really isn't any pressure to learn. The things that they learn are to listen to authority figures, following direction, and interaction with other children. Other things that they learn is fundamentals like how to hold a pencil right and how to hold and cut paper. My son was 3 when we enrolled him. They did go through the letters and numbers but there was no pressure for him to acctually learn them, if he did that was great, but if he didnt it didnt matter because there was always next year. even when my son was 2 we had him in a daycare that was run like school. They had lessons, playtime, snack time, every thing that the schools did. It is a very important skill for children to learn how to interact with other children even at a very young age. I did read a few years ago about a study that was done saying that children that go to preschool actually do better in school. I'm not sure how current that study is now, but as children get older, in order to thrive in society, they don't just need to be book smarts the need to be able to have people skills.

My daughter just turned 3 last April... i did not enroll her to a school yet because i think it is too early... i am thinking of doing that next year or when she turns 5... kids this age need to play more... and some schools can be too demanding with home and school work... so i think i will just teach my daugther the lessons which i know they will teach her in nursery and even kindergarten...

Pre-school here starts for 3 year olds. They go 2 days a week for 3 hours a day. Our church has a school for kids and that is where we plan on sending our daughter when she's old enough. She's just turned one a couple weeks ago, so she's not of school age yet, but I think sending a child that young to school helps them better adjust when it comes to kindergarten and beyond. The kids learn to write and how to share and get along with other kids. It's a great opportunity for kids to socialize in a school setting with the other kids too.

I think it is not fair on our part to send little kids to school at such a small age, mine kids too entered kindergarten at the age of 3 and now in school, I do remember how they cried out of fear and didnt go to the teacher at first!

Both my children went to preschool when they were 3. the first year it was for 3 days a week, and then when they were 4 they went 5 days a week in the universal pre-kindergarten program. I think this is a great way to prepare children for kindergarten, since the standards for learning is so much higher now, and socially it helps them to be around other children, learning how to share, to be a friend, to play together etc. I think you should let her

I started all three of my kids in a preschool program when they were three years old. I did it more for socialization than anything academic. But what I did find was that they gained some academic advantages over those that didn't go to preschool as well. One good thing about preschool in our country is that many of them are a work at your own pace, and the teachers will see if a child is advanced and will often help he/she to advance at their level, rather than hold them back with the rest of the class. My daughter was well advanced and she often caused trouble when she got bored!

i honestly wouldn't start her this early. that's along time for her to go to school especially if she goes on to college. i think u need to let them be little as long as they can. they will be grown & gone from home before u know it. just enjoy her & let her be a 3 year old.

For bright kids the hardest thing about school is being bored, because she is so much advanced I would think school would be fun for her. To bad kids aren't born with directions on their bottoms on how to raise them. Blessings
