I feel quilty leaving him cause I don't need to get a job we do fine, I just feel that he needs to get use to getting up and going somewhere. He'll be three in march so he'll be going to pre-school next year. Am I doing the right thing or am I pushing it?

Don't feel guilty it will be a nice rty to get him ready for pre -school Just talk to him about it , tell him and explain him that he will be going to a nice place where he will have new friends but that you will not be there that you will pick him up after work.. If he cries DON"T stay with him so he can calm down it will make it worst let him cry... Don't worry he will not cry ALL day long teacher or care providers will know what to do to calm him down just call later to make sure he is doing fine... Because if you stay to calm him down he will know that you will do that and he will continue doing it ... Just get here at least 1/2 hr later so you can show him around or you can go days before do so so he can know where will he be going ....GOOD LUCK !!!

I can see why you are doing this, I really do understand your point of view. However, (you knew there was going to be a however--lol) if I would not have had to work, I would not have left my children in daycare.
Why don't you think of this: If you are financially solvent, why not take some classes toward a degree. You would be bettering yourself for the future and your son would only have to be in daycare a few hours a day. Kind of the best of both worlds that way--plus you are furthering your education.
Your son will learn to interact with other children Whether he does it now, when he is in pre-school, or when he enters regular school he will learn how to do it. He will spend the rest of his life interacting with other people. But he only has these few years to spend all of his time with you. Don't give those years up if you don't have to.

I'm confused about your "really don't need to get a job statement". If you don't need to work, then stay home with you child a little longer. Do a co-op pre-school where you can stay if you want and he can get used to the environment. Daycare is exactly what it says...daycare. It isn't educational and doesn't do anything except prepare your child to not have you with them. There are other ways to accomplish this if you really don't need to work. He doesn't need to prepare to go to preschool - that's what pre-school is...preparation for school.
Consider yourself blessed that you don't need to work and put your son first. He'll benefit from the time with you more than he'll benefit from you dropping him off.

Why don't you try him out part-time before you begin your job? That way, if something does go wrong, it's easier picking him up while you're at home, rather than having to leave your new job in the middle of the day. Just to get him used to the idea of you leaving him with someone else while you are gone.

He will be fine. It may take him a couple of weeks to adjust. My daughter screamed and cried the first two weeks she was in day care. When I went to pick her up on the third Monday however she ran to me, tried to push me out the door and told me to "go home". She was having a great time playing and didn't WANT me to take her away. Day care and preschool make the transition into kindergarten (now that so many are going to all day schedules) easier on the children in the long run. When mine left for kindergarten I had instructions to NOT take her to school the first day and to NOT walk her to the bus stop. So I stood in our driveway taking video of her and sobbing...she was fine...I was a wreck LOL

Is a bad feeling to drop them off to daycare, I know; u just have to make it fun and exciting for them. I say "lets go to school" to them instead of daycare..

most important is for you not to show how scared you are of the process...if he sees how upset you are then thats how he is going to react.
talk to him about going to school/daycare, read some books about going, then take him for several visits of longer time each time and by the time you are starting your job he will be ready

u need to be there on his/her first day. but before that get to know the carers go in a week before and spend some time with them they get to know the child and the child gets to know them. he/she will then feel comfortable on their first day because they know them and trust them.
