Is it okay..?

Question

is it okay for my kid to drop out of preschool??

Answer 1

Preschool, as simple as it may seem, is extremely important to a childs development andleanring. At such a young age, to go and play, meet other kids etc is a very good and healthy thing for your child development in many areas.
It does play a bigger role than one might think, but it really is a part of
the child foundation. things like problem solving, math, learning ability social behaviour etc are things that the child trains in that age and a loss here will obviously show later.

Answer 2

No it is not. Look at it like this when he start to attend real school, I mean 1st thru 12th then around 9th or something he is going to think that it is ok to just drop out. Preschool hardy don't do much just playing sleep and eat. What is so hard about that. You are the parent so you know what is right the right thing is to leave him there.

Answer 3

Your child doesn't have to go to preschool but it does play an important role as far as social interaction goes. Some children aren't ready for preschool until they are 5 years old. Preschool also helps with separation anxiety. It will be harder for your child to go to kindergarten if they don't go to preschool first. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

first of all- you need to shed some light on why a preschooler feels that they need to drop out of *preschool* -or is Mom getting a little lonely having the little one off to school for a few hours a week? I think a parent needs to look inward if they feel like this is a serious issue they are facing.

Answer 5

Hello - as a preschool director I would have to say that this depends on why you are dropping out - if you're not comfortable with something at the school - please talk to the teacher and/or director about your concern. I wish I knew more about what is happening with your child. I would love to help.

Answer 6

It depends on why your child wants to drop out of preschool? Preschool is a a fabulous learning/social development period before kindergarten. Do children have to go to preschool, absolutely not! But with that said you, as the parent, need to take up the the role of a preschool teacher. This means find out what your child is expected to know when entering kindergarten. In some states, such as Texas, Kindergarten is not required so find out what is expected for them to know entering first grade. Here are a few things that are generally required:
1. Child should be able to recite the ABC's and should be able to recognize most of the letters and write them in Upper case.
2. Child should be able to count 1-20. Write and recognize most numbers. Count objects, often referred to as one to one correspondence.
3. Child should be able to hold a book correctly in hands, meaning the book is not upside down. They should understand that when someone, not necessarily themselves, is reading a book that the words are read left to right.
4. Child should be able to do some light rhyming. (Nursery Rhymes,etc.)
5. Child should be able to tie shoes, hold scissors and cut, pull own pants up, etc.
6. Child should be able to recognize a few small words in short stories such as the, I, and, to.
7. Write their first name.
8. Some school districts want their students to know their home phone number.

If your child can do all of these things then BRAVO for you! Let him/her stay home and keep enriching your child till it's time for Kinder/first grade.
Hope this helps.

Answer 7

absolustely not! Your child will be learning important social and academic skills that you might not think of at home. When he gets to kindergarten, he will be behind most kids who do have these skills. This will also affect his ability to let go of mama for a little while. I've seen it first hand. It's harder on kids to let the parent go in kindergarten if they are not already used to it. This will inturn affect your relationship with your child's teacher. So, keep him in preschool and let him slowly adjust to the playful school environment then to yank him away from yourself in kindergarten.

Answer 8

hmm, since the greatest amount of learning happens in the earliest of years I would say no, unless you are up to the challenge of establishing in your child a pattern for future learning. Dropping out of high school is probably more beneficial to a child (not that I condone it, I'm just using it as a reference point).
Keep the child in preschool, it has it's benefits.

Answer 9

NO WAY girl friend. My child went to preschool everyday and now she's in 1st grade and you know how many "greats" she's gotten??

Answer 10

If you let him drop out now, how do you think you're going to get him to finish high school and go on to college?
Do you WANT to be taking care of him the rest of your life?
It is so important to emphasize his attendance and accomplishments at this developmental stage. This is where he gets the ground work for his work ethics when he gets old enough for a job.
This is YOUR responsibilty.
