[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here. I'd say that the socialization benefits of playing in a peer group really begin starting at age 2. At 16 months, attentive interaction with a caregiver (parent, nanny, child care teacher) is most important. (yes, a younger child can benefit from peer play, but less so than an older preschooler) So I'd say no worries at all on not being in a peer group setting yet. And the kids who do not go to child care / preschool this year due to the pandemic should be just fine. yes, learning to get along with peers is important, but health is more important. [/quote]
