preschool

I agree! They have made kindergarten like it was first grade already! They want the children knowing everything that I was required to know upon finishing k-grade! I think preschool is very necessary! It teaches them the basics they need to know in k-grade but it also teaches them how to socialize. Oh, and following directions is another big thing that have to learn in re-school...I mean, the child is used to listening to the parent...but now they have to learn to listen to others while there are so many distractions! My daughter that is in first grade did not attend pre-school because Florida believed at the time that only children with a learning disability should attend preschool (they JUST changed that). Then we moved to Oklahoma last year and my son attended pre-k. I can say that I see a difference between the two children. And just to add to that...I have seven children. So, I have seen a difference a GOOD pre-k can do. I say good because for some reason, it didn't have one of my kids are all...he had to do k-grade twice.

My kids had no use for preschool. We homeschool and so they were started in advanced kindergarten due to the time we take for basics. Single children would probably derive the greatest benefit for preschool and learning things to getting along with others. Preschool tends to have lots of germs so I would be really reluctant to send mine there anyway.

My daughter is in preschool and loves it. She has learned so much in the time that she has been involved. It is really getting her ready for kindergarden in the fall. The pace of preschool is slow compared to that of kindergarden. It gives the kids a chance to learn their letters, numbers, shapes, colors, how to write their name, follow directions, think of others, and so much more before they get thrown into the race of all day school.

i just shift my course and study preschool education so that if i finish the course i will have my own preschool. this is very important stage in every child's life because children learn the basics in life during preschool. socialization is the best part of it because kids of their age learn from others kids like being a good sport,following simple directions and other courteous manners.

not in all cases i have 2 children neither ever went to preschool. the only things they needed to know was the numbers 1-10,colors,coloring,sharing and shapes they learned that at home instead of paying strangers
