When did you start preparing your child for kindergarden?

Answer 1

From birth. Reading, singing, labeling things, colors, letters, counting, everything I could at every opportunity. They pick it up very quick. When my son was barely 2 he could sing the ABC's and now at 3 knows most by sight. He can also do simple adding. I never think anything is too advanced for him. The more I introduce it the more he picks it up. Now that is from an educational stand point. If you mean the emotional - time to stay away from Mommy part - I will work on that a few months before Pre-K at 3 1/2.

Answer 2

My son is in preschool and I started young with a half hour here and there throughout the day then to longer. But what I did is let him go on the Internet to www.starfall.com it is free and has so many activities. You pick the level your child is at such as if they don't know there ABC'S you play the letter games they pick a letter and go through a lesson with the letter. learning the letter and sounds of the letter and lower case and upper case.. Just try it I am not doing it justice. My son is developmentally delayed and now after a month doing this sight he is really learning.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I attended college which had a day care program. Nursery school or some kind of Mom and Tot's class will work with socializing your child to go. That's important, making sure your child can deal with other children. Pre- school or other services will help.

Answer 4

i startd preparing my child for kindergarten when she was 30 mos. old, i started teaching her with colors, idntify wih animals and the sounds of her surrounding, then letters & nos. and teaching her how to hold a pencil properly. it may sound difficult but u hav to be patient enough in preparing ur child for pre-school, if ur child doesn't wnt to listen to u, dont force her, just give her enough time. and before bed time, reading stories to your child helps a lot and singing rhyming songs also, above all you have to be patient to your child and avoid hurting.

Answer 5

My child is 19 months and I'm already preparing her. I read to her and play number and color "games". She can already count to 8 (but most of the time she skips some numbers or says them twice-shes got 1,2,3 down pat) and she knows red, blue, yellow, purple, orange, green, white, and black. And she knows tons of animal sounds (even bees). Okay, I'm bragging but I'm a very proud mom with a smart daughter. : )

Answer 6

I would say at about three so they can learn there alphabet, some of there numbers, and learn to write there names, parents names, address, and phone number. the last few they should learn just in case they get lost and need help finding there parents. By the end of kindergarten they have to some what learn how to read to be able to pass to go to the 1st grade.

Answer 9

3 1/2.....started with learning to say the letters and #s....by 4 they learned how to spell their name.....by the middle of kindergarten they were doing adding and subtracting basics....Now I had done the same with my grand daughter and she at a 2nd grade level.....the hard part is the schools don't go that fast and to keep their attention in class on something they already know is hard.

Answer 10

My daughter is 9 weeks old, and I talk to her like I would one of my peers. I may do it in an excited voice, but the words are the same. I also read to her. I read children's books, the book I'm reading, newspapers, magazines...We also sing ABCs and tons of other songs.
