Questions about tot school...

I'm really wanting to do more structured schoolwork with DD, as much as is feasible for her age. She's bright and I already feel like I'm not challenging her enough with the playing and reading we do.

Am I rushing it?  Maybe I'm already doing enough.  I recognize that she's really young,  but I don't want to hold her back either. 

What does pre-k look like for a 3ish year old? Any advice? TIA!

    We do some printouts and lessons already and I would like to make it more formal when he turns 3. DS loves it though, I would just try adding more tot school activities in and if she enjoys it great, if not then you don't have to push it.

     DS is pretty close in age to your daughter and we do a lot of informal stuff at this point.  He does keep asking me how to read though so I may start working on more letter sounds/phonics with him sooner than I thought I would.
