Hi All,
My Jaky Pooh is 14 months old. I was wondering how long before I start looking into preschool or early intervention programs for him?
Does anyone here have their child in any of these programs? If so, how has it been working for you and your child? Has it been beneficial in any way for you guys?
Thanks for the info. |

| I was a full time sahm until my daughter was 18 or 19 months old. My husband and I decided to put her into daycare part time so I could get a part time job (partly for extra money and partly for me to get out a little bit!!). The daycare we ended up choosing is a preschool and she has done wonderfully. I hate spending money on other people watching her, but it is actually very beneficial for her. She has learned so much and she loves being with her friends three days a week. Her vocabulary has grown so much and she amazes me every day with the new things she learns. She is now 2 1/2 and I sometimes miss being with her everyday, but it has worked out well for both of us. We are now expecting our second baby girl and I plan on keeping Natalie in preschool even though I will be home for a couple of months. I can't take that away from her! Hope this helps! |

| Hi Eva! I was actually asking everyone the same question about two months ago. I found a local school that does a two for two program, which means that they enroll 2 year-olds twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) for the A.M. It is also a school based curriculum compared to a more daycare like facility. I am so excited about it because most places I looked at were only daycares that wouldn't just take him a couple days a week for only a few hours. Hope you find something that suits you! |

| Eva, I am a prekindergarten teacher at a private preschool and as a teacher I can see the children growing. I see them blossom and learn to share. They learn how to treat others, how to communicate with adults & peers, as well as counting, alphabet, and basic skills. If your worried about your child picking up bad habbits, you need to remember that he/she will pick up bad behavior. You need to use those moments as a teachimg moment,and try not to show your anger or discuss. As parents we are our child's first teacher,and are until death. We need to think about what were going to do with negative behavior,and especially how our actions with effect our relationship with our child/children! |
