Should I pull my child out of the preschool?

Question

Its a new program at a center where there are activivties for babies and tots like gymboree. Its a two hour drop off. my child and i would do the mommy and me classes there about a year ago. it was expensive after a while. so we quit and she didnt interact much with other children. now a year later i enroll her in a preschool program, 2 hours once week. But my child cries the whole time. the first two times just half the time and now it has been the entire time. they have other levels of child play where the parent is there and all these classes are at aged organized(she loves), i was thinking of dropping the preschool because i dont think she is ready, but enrolling her in another mommy and me type class, but she gets to interact with others while i am there. maybe next year try the preschool one out again. Also i want to work on the seperation anxiety thing. shes with me all the time. i rarely leave her with anyone for a couple of hours, so we can work on that. what do you think?

i am in the other room the whole time to see how she reacts. she dosnt know iam in there, but i do tell her i will be back to get her soon, andd i leave. she cries the entire time and sits by the glass doors where you enter and exit.

they do snack and reading and painting, she did okay or one hour out of the two, then just last week, she didnt participate at all.

Answer 1

Preschool is not at all necessary, so it's fine if you pull her out and it's fine if she doesn't go next year either.

I think it's wonderful that you've started going to these classes with her. She's learning, interacting, and getting to spend time with you.

There's no reason why she shouldn't be with you at this age. Children at this age need mom and dad more than anything.

Answer 2

I wouldn't pull her out!! It will probably be the same next year. I used to be a toddler teacher and would see this. Are you sure that she is crying the whole time or only when you are there and then stops a little after you leave? Lots of kids will act out while there parents are present and then be fine when they are gone and then act up again when they come to pick them up. I think that with the classes only being 2 hrs it doesn't give her much time to calm down and play with the other kids in between you leaving and coming back. One of the other ways that we would sometimes have to deal with this to give the child a little treat when they arrive. So she doesn't think it's a punishment being there. I would try a snack that she really likes but doesn't get very often. They only problem is giving it to her without the other kids seeing so they don't want some. Maybe you could start to drop her off 5 min early and then right after you leave they give her a treat. (I wouldn't have you give her the treat, I would have the teacher do it after you leave) I hope this helps! Good luck!

preschool isnt really required of her to take but it is nice to have a head start, what u could do is just wein her off of u, if the teacher of the preschool will allow it u could sit in the class and over time make the amount of time u spend in the class with her shorter and shorter till she becomes comfortable without u there

i do not understand if i'd of pulled the youngster out of school yet i visit confirm why she did it. If a significant instructed me to settle down because of a challenge i had about the lesson taught in school. i'd be even extra furious.

Why might want to you want to tug beer out of it once you would possibly want to get german sausages to pattern, a fave dessert they have, i only discover it in proper. i do not understand if i'd pull my youngster out over it if the numerous understood the position i became coming from..besides the undeniable fact that it kind of appears like he shot down her concerns.
