Answer 2

Greetings! There are all kinds of different preschools, depending on cultural interests, cognitive interests, amount of income and the like.

For example, I'm a Head Start teacher, and we have a very wide and culturally adaptable program for three and four year old children, even children who turn five after the Kindergarten cut off date. Our particular program is for very low income families however.

Montessori is another school to be considered if you want to sharpen your child's cognitive mind. This program tends to be very expensive.

If you are a middle income parent or a stay at home parent, I would strongly recommend looking into cooperative nursery schools. The tuition is much cheaper, but you will be expected to volunteer in the classroom on scheduled days and also attend mandatory parent meetings.

I went to a cooperative nursery school as a child and truly loved the experience. My parents did also.

I hope that helps. Take care.

An idea is that you have mommy time and your daughter has mommy play time. Use a timer and set aside time that is for mommy to play with you and when she has to play by herself. Join a play group. There are times that my kids frustrate me. Another thing to remember is if one is frustrating you think about how two children will be. The following excerpt is from What To Expect The Toddler Years (available at your local bookstore) Give her lessons We often assume that children are born knowing how to play. But the fact is they often need help using a particular toy or plaything. Get her started Each time you want her to spend some time on her own get her started on the activity, then tell her she can do it while you're doing your activity Keep her company She may be more receptive to playing by herself with you for company than playing all by herself. Whatever activity your doing have her do the same thing... While you read your book, she reads her books Have her color while you write letters home Provide other playmates Arrange play dates, join a play grouop and visit the playground regularly. Another possible playmate is a Mother's Helper. They can keep your toddler entertained while you do housework. Demand some rights...but be realistic Time your time alone Set a timer for the amount of time you need to complete a certain task. Be patient... Even 3 minutes alone is precious.

Answer 4

Do some research into local preschools in your area by touring them, finding out about their curriculum and talking to parents in your area about where they send their children. You may also want to check with the school district in which you live, they often have Early Childhood Programs for much less than a non accredited preschool.

Answer 5

Hi, I started school when I was 3 years old. Every child develops at different stages. It could be your child is ready for school, and you can enroll her in school for this year. Or it could be that she hears a lot about school from older siblings and therefore wants to go too. Or you can send her to preschool. The best way to find out about a good one is through references and word of mouth. Ask around to friends and neighbors where they sent their children and your sure to find a good one that way.

Answer 6

The website http://www.greatschools.net/ gives you access to every school's State Report Card, area demographics, and reviews by parents who have experience with the school, among many other statistics. All you have to do is input the school's name, or search by the area in which you live (zip code). You can even compare all schools within a district. Preschools generally fall under elementary schools.

Good luck.

Answer 7

Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find out how reputable a preschool is. Call local preschools for information and be sure to take a tour of the facility. Take your daughter with you to see how she reacts and socializes with other children.

Answer 8

Children go to preschool when they are 4 or even younger, she should already be in one.
You don't have to wait until she's 5!!!
Ask some of the people around where you live, or try google.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Call your local NOCAC who will refer you to a good quality preschool - they will know the teacher's qualifications, you can check out their ratings on the web, Step Up to Quality ratings - so many ways to check out a preschool. Talk to parents - word of mouth is one of your best resources for finding the best preschool for YOUR child.

Answer 10

You must get her into PRESCHOOL. I teach kindergarten and it is not like it was 20 - 30 years ago. She must go being socialized, knowing rules of classrooms, how to write her name, knowing letters, sounds, and counting to 20. Get on it. Research, ask friends, look online or in the yellow pages, just do it.

Answer 11

Pre-Schools are generally pretty easy to find. A lot of times, you can just find a neighbor that runs a school in their basement. Or you could just pre-home-school her, teach her the ABCs and colors. Most little kids love playing school at home. And continue encouraging her to love school. That is good.
