Take a day and go visit the school with him. Tell him you're just there to watch what he does. Make sure you take some time to talk with his teacher to show that you are "friends" with her and that you like her. It often helps when a child knows that mom has a connection with the school.
Try and arrange some play dates with his peers. Have him spend some one on one time with several children from his classroom. You can even carpool together. He may begin to feel more comfortable.
Empathize with him when he is upset. "I know it is hard for you starting something new. I can tell your worried about.....". After you empathize a little tell him "I know you don't want to go but this is not your choice. You will go to school and I will pick you up in 3 hours." Give it no more attention than that.
Make a quick exit when you drop him off. Give a hug and kiss and say goodbye. He will be more anxious if it is a prolonged goodbye.
It will take a little time, but he will soon get used to the change and begin to enjoy his new school. Good luck!

It might help if he has a fellow playmate that goes to school. Make friends with another parent & child at that school, and get together for play dates outside of school. That way, a day at school is a day to see his play mate.I would give it a week or two, if he still objects, I'd do some homework and find the best school that is accessible to you. He obviously is not excited about this school, perhaps they do not make him feel special, and a different school would. Hang in there, you sound like an awesome mommy!

personally my mom just dropped me off and left ( great wasnt she) but after a day or two i got over it and made some friends. but some kids arent ready. why not try maybe 1 hour a day then slowy increase it by 15-30 mins. soon it will turn into 3 hours. or try staying with him for a few mins to get him to play with other kids say " oh doesnt this look fun" and then both of you join in then he will get used to it and wont be sad anymore

perservere it will get better. Three years old is very young. Can you wait till he is 4? He will adjust a lot better then. Kids who go to school later adjust easier and learn quicker. I am all for waiting till they are older. Mine went to school when the just were about to turn 6 rather than 5 and it has been fantastic

Why is he in preschool?You are his parent and should be with hid. Don't beleive the propoganda put out by liberals that don't want you to rqaise your own children. I never sent my daughter to preschool and she is doing fine B+ average in middle school now. I taught her the alphabet and numbers she knew them when she was 3yrs old, and I work. He wants to be with You, not some stranger that has too many kids to take care of to spend good quality time with him. I never went to preschool and I was a straight A student my Mother never sent any of us to preschool. Get your priorities straight and take care of your son yourself.

Make sure he's not being abused at the day care. He may be mistreated and don't know how to tell you. Make a surprise visit and check on him during the day and see how he is doing. If he continues crying about not wanting to go after a week, take him to another day care.

you don't have to send your kids to school until they are like 5...they would start out in kindergarten like my son will when school starts back.
I didn't send my son to pre-school cause for one that is just another added year of going to school. 13 years is good enough and 2nd i thought he was too little to go.
So when he starts next month he will be 5 in kindergarten but even i don't want to send him even though i know he has too..He is my only child and i want to keep him as long as i can at home.
If they are not ready to go then don't send them....But maybe give iit a few more days and see how he responds to school
Good luck

This is normal for some children w/c eventually changes once they start socializing, enjoying the company of other kids & learning lessons w/c are new to them. Give it a month, if nothing changes, maybe he is not ready yet.

Keep him out for another year. Some kids just aren't ready for school when the parent is "ready for them to go."
Your child is only a child ONCE. Remember that, but be firm when you know what's best.
