[quote=Anonymous]I am sending my almost 2 year old to preschool in September when he will be 2.5. Does he NEED to go? No, but I believe it will be better for him. Before Covid, my older kids attended some kind of class since they were babies (6 months or so). My son has not been in any type of school environment at all. I think it’s what is best now even if it won’t make a big difference in what he learns. Character and intelligence grow with stimulation and he will get much more of that in school than at home with our wonderful nanny. My son is going 3 hours a day so we are keeping our nanny.
As per Covid exposure, I think a preschool is much better than random classes where adults and children attend on and off. Our preschool (like most private schools) has protocols to follow and it’s always the same people the whole year. I am pretty sure that 3 hours a day with the same 10 kids is much safer than 3 hours a week with several random adults (nannies, parents, grandparents) + kids.

Will your daughter be fine? Absolutely. Would she be better off going to school? Absolutely. Are you limiting your covid exposure by taking her to a couple of classes per week? No (unless you plan to avoid indoor classes all together)[/quote]
