Should you do PreK if you don't need the childcare?

100%! She needs to be with peers, learn how to be away from home for increasingly longer periods of time. How to navigate social situations. Feedback from teachers is valuable before she starts K too.

Also it’s hard to gauge what’s “normal” developmentally without some preschool IMO. My oldest was flagged for OT in the 3s.

For our kids we did…

2 mornings a week at 2yo
3 mornings a week at 3yo
5 mornings a week at 4yo (pre-K)

We had (and still have) a FT nanny for the afternoons. They would come home, eat lunch, take a nap, and then go to the park. The preschool kept to the public school calendar so there were plenty of days off for outings. It worked out well.
