When should kids start Preschool

1. When should kids start kindergarten? For the most part, educators define preschool as the two years before a child begins preschool. Some preschools set a minimum age for when they'll accept kids—usually, they have to be 3 by December of the academic year, although some will go as young as 2. According to research, somewhere between 4 and 6 percent of children delay kindergarten. Typically, students who delay kindergarten tend to be white, male and noteconomically disadvantaged. The majority of students who delay have birthdays in July, August or September, meaning their birthdays fall close to the kindergarten cut-off date. Ask a few questions before starting the classes: 1. Observe does He Follow Directions? There usually aren't super strict rules in preschool, but it is expected that your child can follow simple instructions.1 Preschoolers are usually asked to clean up, follow snack guidelines, walk in a line with the rest of the class and other assorted jobs. It is important to sense whether he follows your instructions. This might be problematic, you can start giving your preschooler easy tasks he can do on his own. 2. Can he Communicate? No 3-year-old is expected to speak perfectly, but in general, people should be able to understand what they are saying. Likewise, they should be able to hear and understand you. Your preschooler should often use simple sentences of three to five words and be able to describe something that has happened recently—say a trip to the library that you took in the morning. 3. Has he Been Away From You? For kids that have been in daycare, this is a no-brainer. But for children who have one parent who stays at home with them all day, separating can be an issue. If you've never left your child before, you may want to start. 4. How Well Does He Interact With Other Kids? If your child has been around other kids—siblings and relatives count—this shouldn't be an issue. In any case, arranging for playdates, signing up for a playgroup or even taking classes at a library or community center is good practice for learning how to get along with others.
