Gaston Edgcomb: My older three boys all went to a preschool literally in "the basement of a church" and my oldest (twins) are now 14 and honor roll students. My middle son (now age 11) went to the same preschool and is a straight A student (high honors). My youngest went to a different more expensive preschool and maybe coincidence, but he (age 8 now) struggles with a learning disability LOL go figure.
Filiberto Amauty: my daughter attends a christian pre school , no need to spend mounds of money for 3 hrs a day 3 days a weekI would love for my kids to continue their education in a private christian school but it's going to be a stretch. My son has autism and if he isn't mainstreamed he needs to stay in the public school system in their programsONE of the reasons I want them in a christian school is because so much filth of our society is made to be acceptable where as if they are in a christian school they have more control and they can talk about GOD freely with! out being sued...Show more
Dorine Nurre: At age 3, preschool reward mom. A lil one purely gets out of the abode. PreK at age 4 has some lasting reward for a newborn. So this stated, an surprisingly section time section day software may be the main i might advise. additionally, after lunch she may be required to nap. and you'd be procuring her to nap! And that training on the church is sky severe regardless of decrease cost. We purely paid $310 a month for 5 5-hour days for our PreK grandson who has some particular desires, this grew to become right into a church preK software with authorized instructors and blanketed his speech treatment. i might civilly decline the furnish on the church. save the money for her college education, which might have lasting reward! (and if the cost variety is a controversy, you will get those 'social skills; purely via taking your newborn to library tale time, community puppet shows, classes on the parks/museums/ or zoos, wellbeing midse! ction instructions on the parks and game and so on.)(in additi! on they'll coach much extra variety of matters than preschool at age 3 in extra confident putting.) -- ultimate needs --...Show more
Cortez Badolato: If done properly, waldorf and montessori are not just brand names, they are very specific (and very different from each other) teaching philosophies. We didn't intend to do preschool, but had a little extra money the summer my son was three, so we sent him to Montessori summer school for a month. He wasn't ready for school, socially, at that time, though. So, I don't think he got much out of it. He did seem to enjoy the work, though. My daughter was too young for kindergarten by a couple of weeks. So, by January, she was very, very, very ready to get herself into school. For economic reasons, we put her in the public school preschool program. We still had to pay for her to be there, but it wasn't as much as a Montessori program. She was basically there for the socializing, learning 'school' skills, etc. And, she ! loved it. I don't think that she learned much academically, though. They weren't really geared towards 5yo students. I, personally, went to a catholic school until 6th grade, when I switched (for economic reasons) to a public school. I was very far ahead of my fellow students, academically, once I hit public school. If I could afford it, I would consider switching my kids to a Montessori school now. Not for the 'name', but for the teaching philosophy. It fits more closely with how they both learn and with how we would like them to be treated as individuals. We can't afford it, though, so we make up for that by being as involved as possible in their schools....Show more
Buster Buchko: From about 18 months to 3 yrs, my son went to a prestigious developmental preschool in So Cal connected with a college, my dh called it *free range children*. It was nearby, recommended by friends and I liked the philosophies they followed. It was OK when my son was very young, b! ut turned out not to be his thing, he is extremely bright and needed ch! allenges from the teachers, which just doesn't happen in those type of preschools. We switched him into a more structured preschool at a church, a feeder preschool for all of the top private schools in our area (which I didn't realize at the time). It had a part-time preschool program and came highly recommended.Since we were living in a great school district, I thought my son would go to public school. From 3 - 4.5 yrs, he had speech therapy, due to being extremely premature, at the elementary school and really liked the environment. However, his ST told us that a private school with a rigorous curriculum would be more appropriate. She knew a child in the school who was like my son and was sent to other grades for reading and math during K. I didn't like that idea at all, but realistically, he would have been bored in the class and probably acted out, even though he's a well behaved kid. So we looked into private schools and found a school that was a perfect match, and luc! kily he was admitted. He's in his last year there, and will attend a private high school next year. By his grades, awards and ISEE scores, it's clear we made the right choice. His school's curriculum is a year or two ahead of the top rated public schools, which was right for my son.We live in an area where an unusual percentage of kids go to private school and competition for admissions is very tough. Sending him to the preschools we did was definitely a help, because of the existing relationships between preschool and elementary school personnel. Dh and I went to public schools, except dh went to Harvard. So we weren't thinking private schools = Ivy League or anything of the sort, quite the opposite, we both did very well in public. So for us, the choice of private school was academic. The important thing is finding the right fit for the child....Show more
Jonie Lauria: Well, ours went to an expensive private preschool. Not a particular *brand* though. We choose it b! ecause so many people we knew insisted that it was great. The teachers ! were very loving and caring and patient. The kids learned a lot. We also home schooled for awhile. This was because we felt one of our children had a sort of *follower* type personality and we really wanted to work with her on being more independent. Also, she is very intelligent. When we home schooled we went through 2.5 grade levels in less than a year. When she expressed the need to go back, we let her. Even though she was in 5 different activities throughout the week and had plenty of play dates, she is the type of child that needs constant interaction with her peers. We choose public school at that time, because all of our surrounding private schools are heavily Christian influenced. We are not religious. We also did our research and choose a school that we felt best suited her. Both of them are in public school now. If they ever expressed that they wanted to be home schooled, I would do it in a heartbeat. No need to be somewhere you don't want to be. I really like the! fact that we can tailor their education to their interests, anyhow, if they are home schooled. We'll see what's in store in the future.All in all, yes I think preschool prepared them for Kindy. Personally, I think home school is the BEST option of schooling, if done correctly. I would love for my kids to ask me to home school them again....Show more
Timmy Bustard: you are looking for good preschool or play school. Before finalising on any list look for - "Reality Check for Parents preschools in India" on the website of - “Preschool for Child Rights†and read the article â€"http://www.preschoolforchildrights.com/home/presch... The fact is that none of the preschools / day care / creche etc are having any proper syllabus and curriculum. The problem of preschools in India is so grave that even the Government of India is awakened to this reality and is coming up with Curricular Laws. I also suggest you to go for Five Point Formula from “Preschool for Child Rightsâ! €, which is mentioned here â€" http://www.preschoolforchildrights.co! m/free-articl...List of websites :http://www.preschoolforchildrights.comhttp://www.preschoolforchildrights.orghttp://www.preschoolforchildrights.nethttp://www.blog.preschoolforchildrights.orghttp://www.thezerocurriculum.comMany things regarding Preschool etc is also explained in this video â€" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKgNSDBs_YQ
