[quote=Anonymous]Content-wise, a really good home daycare should be able ensure that he's ready for kindergarten. The thing that preschool can provide is the structure and classroom behavior: being with a bigger group of kids his own age, following instructions, waiting in line, raising his hand before he speaks, transitioning to different activities at set times, etc. If he's taken group classes where these kinds of things are done, then he may well already have those skills. And I'm not sure I'd send my kid to preschool just for that--kindergarten teachers are used to having kids with different backgrounds in this regard and the first few weeks are usually spent learning classroom routines--but it's what you should be considering when making this decision.
