For such a long time, I still don't know how to handle with a little kid who is at the age of going to school. Do you have have any good ideas to persuade the boy or girl going to school?

I wonder how old the child is because you have mentioned a baby. In my home country children can go to a nursery school at age 3 to 4 years old. Then they go to the reception year in a primary school at age 4 to 5. A child unless being home schooled must join school by age 5 in year 1 at primary school. In some cases there in a infant school for years R, 1 and 2. Then a junior school for years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
When my oldest son was 6 years old he didn't want to go to school. I think that he had enjoyed year 1 but year 2 had come a shock. It was all work and no play. I spoke gently to him, helped him get better with reading at home and gave him presents when he did go to school willingly. Now he is 15 years old and loves school.

You are a great mother. In our country, child at age 6 are allowed to go to the primary school. This is not a problem because almost the children have gone to the nursery school, they are more like to go to school than staying at home. there are more fun in school. The real problem is that it is hard to get the kids at age 3 or 4 go to the nursery school at the very beginning.

First off how old is the child, because you have put baby and then little kid.. So cant be sure on the age.
I can advise you if you tell me the age of the child, I am a trained nursey nurse (as well as other things). So should be able to help and give ideas, but its all age dependant.

a lot of kids don't like going to school. I was one of those kids, too. lol. I would say try to get them involved in after-school activities or in sports/clubs that they like. For example I joined volleyball in 9th grade of high school and it gave me something to look forward to and a reason NOT to skip school. Otherwise though - you have to just make them go to school. I don't know where you live, but in Minnesota, until you legally "drop out" (if you decide to do that) it's against the LAW to skip more than a few times per semester.
