i think no it should not let him enjoy his time, after going to school he has to continue it for 11 - 12 years so let the kid enjoy his little time. i think kids have to be kids and when they go to school they loose their childish so if you prevent them from playing with their toys and braking anything in the house you have ruined their childhood. so i will never send my kid to school before 6 year old i don't want my kid to grow soon i want my kid to enjoy every stage of her/his life. i think every stage of our lives are very important and if you take a stage from someone its not a good work at all.

we can see many peoples having top academics grades but they don't enjoyed their life at all. not all of those peoples who have top academical degrees are successful in their lives and most of them are thinking that their parents were responsible for this unsuccessfulness because they have forced them to study all of their times.

anyway i have found those places that you can send you 2 or 3 years old baby to are not really a school. kids like crowded places so if your kid doen't have any brother or sister it is not a bad idea to sent him to a place where he can see other kids and play with them but in those places should not be any force on learning alphabets. they can provide alphabets in shape of toys and let kids play with them but there should be no force at all.

I got a baby and I heard that the school I'm eyeing on for my baby has this Prep-nursery level for 2 1/2 year olds. I was like, "Isn't it too early?"

I remembered when before, little kids go to school when they are 4 years old.

My baby is still 8 months old, and so I really don't need to worry about this this early. But I just like other people's opinion.

I had read on a newspaper article, the writer is a psychologist, saying people thought that children should be sent to school on during summers or after-classes hours to make the child more productive. Where in the psychologist points out that children need to rest. They need sleep. And children needs to play.

So, I'm not really sure if on prep-nursery, would my child still have his precious time to play? Or is it all studies?

Dear friend what I think you don’t have to worry at all because in the pre nursery level of schooling it is just like play schools where its learning through playing and its not more of writing or reading as such. Basically what they are trying to do is that the kids should learn to share there things eatables etc. with others, they should learn to adjust with other kids. And with other kids they start learning faster that is speaking etc. not writing or reading. So what I think is you don’t have to worry about the pre nursery classes. More over what my wife done was she didn’t sent my son to pre nursery and nursery classes and tried to make such playing atmosphere at home itself and now that he is about four years so in the next schooling session he is going to be admitted in LKG that is lower kinder garden. God bless your young one. May he flourish in his future.

In my country is really common for children to go to "school" early, because most moms has to send them so they can go to work (because of the economic fact). I think is important for kids to start learning early because I have heard babies brain is like a sponge they do learn a lot, from everything and I also think is important for kids to be surrounded by little kids their age so they develop social skills as well, but If I have the time and the opportunity to stay with my kids and take care of them full time, then I would rather send my baby to school later so I can spend more time with him, because kids grow up fast, and the next day they don't want to spent time with you but with their friends or other people, but I also think it would be good to send him to a kinder garden maybe a couple hours a day, maybe to or three so he can learn something and share with other kids as well, stay in a different environment.
