Betsey Copp: it's 2 1/2 hours a day. I think I'm just emotional about my baby going to school...lol
Irvin Guiles: Preschool is a wonderful thing for kids. My daughter loves it and has learned so much.
Jeremy Donohue: i am a home daycare provider and a preschool teacher who has worked with children for 15 years i have a degree in early childhood education and have worked and ran many different programs first a 125.00 for what ends up being around 12 days per month is a great price it worked out to around 10.42 per day which is great! now as for is it good for kids well that depends does she have children her own age to play with regularly? are you planning on working with her for kindergarten readiness? this can be hard if you have other children and not a lot of time. do children need preschool? yes and no some kids who will have a hard time adjusting to kindergarten might it will give them the chance to get used to the idea of being away form mom while still! having a lot of time to ease in to it in my school district there are no room mom helpers in any school for the first 6 weeks of kindergarten and they don't let you stay on the first day they feel that for most kids the sink or swim philosophy works best some kids will do OK with this while never having set foot in a preschool and some wont they could have used a preschool experience to help with the transitions of leaving home with preschool they are allowed to cry and will get the comfort they need while at school they have any where from 20 to 40 kids and a scheduled to keep plus if it gets to bad they will call you in preschool where the school wont so only you know your daughter if you feel like she may need it to help then go for it even if you feel she does not but can see it might be a benefit to her and its not for a full day then it might be fun and you can help in class and go on Field trips and so on ! good luck!...Show more
Elmo Tervo: It sounds like you! have done a great job already, but you also have to look at i! t as is it good for her. Yes you will be upset.because your baby is growing up and starting school. But also preschool prepares her for kindergarten but also allows her to interact with other children her own age. For me preschool is great it gives me a couple of days a week that I can do mommy time and it allows for her to burn off energy and play with kids her age.
Providencia Jalbert: Preschools can be great for kids with limited exposure to kids their own age- a chance to socialize with peers a little at a time before starting Kindergarten. They're also good for kids whose environments don't prepare them for school (low income families, migrant families, etc.).If your daughter doesn't fall into those two categories, consider forming a playgroup- craigslist has categories suited for this and can be a good way to meet new moms and kids. Find out what your school district expects of incoming Kindergarteners, and come up with ways to encourage those skills on your ow! n.Preschool can be good, but it's not for everyone, and programs vary widely in their usefulness. Only you can know if your daughter is right for preschool and if preschool is right for your daughter.GOOD LUCK!...Show more
Josefine Weekey: If you have the money and can spare it. I would say go for it. If you get a medcaid for your daughter she can go to some of the programs free,
Shaun Rapkowicz: Preschool really isn't as much about the academic aspect as it is about the social aspect. I think it is your decision but Preschool is great for the children. My two oldest went and my three year old is going now and loves it. I really recommend it. =)
Georgina Natal: The social aspect of preschool is the absolute worst aspect. It teaches kids to conform, gets girls into cliques that exclude others, teaches kids to get into wearing the 'right' clothes, teaches kids that it is not cool to learn and be interested in things. To meet her socialization needs, get to! gether a couple of times or so a week with another mom who has a daught! er her age, or gather at 'mom and me' gatherings where she can mingle with other kids.It also separates siblings from each other too young. They should be building a relationship at this stage of their lives.At her age, her activities should include you. Preschool is not worth because of this: children your daughter's age learn best in the context of a one on one relationship - that is, they learn best with mommy. She will be hurt by preschool, not helped. She needs you, not to 'teach' her, but to help her live and learn. She learns her colors because of talking with you and hearing you name colors, not from a worksheet. She learns to count from you because you count out loud around her. She learns to read from you because you point out letters, symbols, occasionally and casually mention the sounds letters make while you read to her (a lot), because you write, she writes, because you garden, she wants to garden. Preschool is bad for kids, so it's definitely not wor! th the money....Show more
Roxane Leathers: Unless your child needs to improve socialaztion skills, IMO preschool is overrated. Send time with your child one on one learning is so much better than 2 teacher per 20 kids! My daughter was in preschool for 1 year (3 year old class) and everyhting she learned that year ws taught by me! Save your money for her college & spend time with her....Good Luck
Serena Doak: I really think it'd be great for your family. While homeschooling is great, your daughter wouldn't be able to get that attention with the younger one around. My cousin has been going to pre-school for two years now. He's not "ready" to start kindergarten. I think it's been a great release for him. He's made friends and really learned to deal with other kids. It's great socially and gives me a break at times! Either way it's up to you. Check out the preschools though. In my old town I ended up paying $200 a month for basic daycare. I swear, that ! boy didn't learn a thing! Look into the YMCA program just to make sure! you're getting your monies worth! Best of Luck!...Show more
Barrett Felicia: I work in a preschool. ( im just a custodain there) but i do hear the secretary telling people it is $125 per Quarter. There are four Qaurters a year and it runs from late augsut to early May. so ti sounds chepaer than yours? also, it runs four days a week, half days. Another thing, the I talk to the teachers a lot and a lot of them say it is worth ti casue the children learn the basic skills like the alphabet, colors, numbers, counting, singing songs, playing with play dough and etc... all supposedly to stimulate the minds. IF you cannot afford the preschool, it wouldnt hurt to start doing some of these early childhood development actiivties with your child. also all the teachers have this leap frog thing its a magnet for the firdge and u put the diffrent letters in it and it sings a song about that letter. They said it really helps the kids out so myabe u could get some toys like that ! for at home? also another thing it teachees them is how to play nicely with the other kids and etc... Good Luck!...Show more
Lahoma Beadell: My daughter is 3 1/2 and goes to preschool. I think it's the best think that I could have done for her. She's inteacting with others-adults and children her own age- and it makes it easier for when she does start school. Also keeps them from being so attached. If I were you, I would send her. If she doesnt like it, dont worry about it. Just dont send her anymore. I'm pretty sure she'll love it, though.
Donnell Nocella: maybe try an ECE (early childhood education) program at a public school its free and they go 3 to 4 days a week and its the same thing as preschool
Mahalia Brindle: Preschool is a VERY important part of childhood. It prepares the kids socially and academically for kindergarten.The preschool price you've been offered breaks down to $10 per day. I'd say that's a pretty good deal. I assume it's for 2 hours! a day?
Scot Rotruck: $125 is cheap!Regardless of that, kids that! attend preschool transition better in Kindergarten and are ahead of kids who don't attend. It's also great for them socially.
Efren Clankscales: I think that the only two things that are very important in preschools is the development of social schools and the chance of your daughter making friends. Besides that, I would say no, unless you have to work and cannot help teach her yourself.I am not sure about price costs, but I would say that the most important thing would be who will be taking care your your daughter. Is it a good environment for her?
Vernon Martorana: You could look for a preschool classroom that includes children with special needs. Many of these classrooms need 'peers' (so called typically developing children) in the classroom and give a much discounted rate. The advantage of this is that you get a teacher who has a masters degree and is earning a teachers salary which gives much more stability and consistency to a preschool classroom. The! staff and the quality of the classroom will generally be better than most other preschools, and where I live, it costs 50 dollars a month for 2-3 days at 2h15m day. Also, these classrooms are just about everywhere as federal law says that children 3-5 with special needs must be served, so many communities have these classrooms run by the school district, the dept of human services, the county, or some other agency....Show more
Catheryn Barringer: I've taught her a lot so it's not so much the learning aspect. She can count to twenty, knows her colors, ABC's, and things like that. She also has a younger sister who will be able to go to preschool next year. My oldest is really outgoing and I think the social interaction would be great for her.
Todd Stogner: I wish I could find something that was $125 a month for childcare. Are you sure you don't mean a week?
Coleman Senn: Pre School is great and thats not a bad price either. The things she will learn at p! reschool she cant learn at home are all the things that have to do with! socially getting along with other children. She will learn new games, new songs, new stories and make a lot of friends. I think pre school is always worth it.
