[quote=Anonymous]My kid was pretty nervous about it. We started her at 3.5 in DCPS preschool. It was a bit of an adjustment at first but she was running into the room without saying goodbye by Thanksgiving. I’m not sure she would’ve been as happy or as ready before then. But by 3.5, we felt that we and her nanny were just not giving her enough to do/helping her with independence and expanding her social skills. She definitely had to learn to share and be more independent compared to kids who had been in group care since much younger, for instance. It helped that we were doing true preschool, on the school year calendar, and so we just told her that she was starting school in the fall. We didn’t give her a choice; it’s just what was expected. (And she had also seen neighbors go off to the same school.) I think giving a choice might be a mistake at this age; just make a decision and go with it. [/quote]
