Preschool-What are your feelings about preschool? Did you go to preschool as a child? Have you worked in a preschool? Do your kids attend preschool? What type of preschool do YOU believe is best for children? Any other thoughts on education for our under 5 population?
I think if your child is ready to be apart from the parents and your ready to let go for a couple of hours then its a great idea. Personally I can't wait for my girls to go to preschool, my oldest starts in the fall. I went to Early Head Start Program for Nevada County. I think the Developmental Interaction Curriculum is probably the best because I think you get the best of both worlds....the teacher being a teacher and a child being a child. Where I work we have weekly themes. A color shape number and letter so all our activities focus on these things. Then we also have free play indoors and outdoors. So i think that the child gets the best of everything.
I also think that a parent has to be ready to let thier child go if they are going to put them in preschool, because if they aren't then its really hard on the kid they feel that. Preschool is a great fondation to start school with, because they can make friends and still have them in high school, also they become use to being around other kids and teachers do work and playing. everything they will need to be comfortable in kindergarten.

Honestly, I think if a child is ready to go to school the the parent should recognize that and do what's best for their child, not for them. To me that's what raising kids is all about.
