Preschool time for your lo

When will you/did you send your lo to preschool? Will you send them part time. My MIL watches ds 4 days a week and my mom watches him 1 day a week. When he's a MIL house he gets to play with his cousin who is 6 mos younger. But I'd like him to have more interaction with kids and structure. Just curious what everyone else is planning.

    I was thinking of sending DS to a daycare 1-2 days/week in the fall.  He's too young for a pre-school.  He will be 2 then.

    He goes to daycare 2 full days a week now. He will start pre-school next September (so he will be 3.5). He will either do 3 full days or 5 half days - that is what the school he is going to offers for part-time students, we just haven't decided which is best for him yet.

    DS will start in the fall and go 4x week half days.  That is what they offer here and that is what we are doing.

    We just got full acceptance to the most incredible Reggio Emilia preschool.  The campus and philosophy surpassed my wildest of dreams. 

    I was in shock when we were accepted...  and not really ready to send her till next year when she turns 3... but we just can't pass up this spot.  It will not be available next year.

    So DD will be starting a few weeks after her second birthday.  The hours?  1-5:30 Monday to Friday.  Parents are encouraged to be there to observe/participate from 4:45-5:30.  Which I will indeed do as much as I can.

    We have an excellent caregiver for a few half days a week.  She has a blast there.  But she's become obsessed with school after our tour/interview at the place where she will be going in the fall.  Her desire to go was a big part of our decision to make the schedule/$$ work.

    Start talking to your son about school.  Maybe take a tour of a few preschools.  See what he says and watch how he acts there.  If he clings to your leg and looks horrified, it's best to wait, obviously.  If he settles in and rambles about it for weeks afterward?  You might have your answer right there.

    We will start DD NEXT fall, so she'll be just a few months shy of 3. She will only go 2 half days a week (unless she super duper loves it, then I'll let her do 3). And the main reason for doing it is we will probably have a newborn then, and that gives me time with just the newborn, and DD some time out of the house since she is used to that (we go out everyday) and we probably won't be doing that when we first have a new baby.

    We started DD in preschool right before she turned 2.  It was for three hours a day two days a week.  She absolutely LOVED it!  She's now in a summer camp which is two days a week for five hours.  She dives out of our arms into her teacher's arms.

    She will be starting daycare full time at the end of August when DH goes back to work (he's been a SAHD).

    This is VERY encouraging.  Thank you!!!

    Our church has a "mother-day-out" program that's very similar to preschool.  It's for children ages 6 months to 5.  It's two days a week for 4 hours a day.  That might be a good start.

    I will send DD to preschool this Fall at 18 months, 2 mornings a week. Not many preschools take kids that young so I was really happy to find this option. I work full-time so playgroups/dates are hard to arrange.

    I was thinking about this too.  I'm a SAHM so he doesnt' really get a LOT of interaction with other kids (only on playdates, which aren't consistent) and I want him to get adjusted before actually starting school... Sometime after he turns 3 I think.
