[quote=Anonymous]I’d start at 3. Many kids start at 2 nowadays and there is always an ajdustment period. There is a ton of germs no matter when you start preschool and on what basis. Yes, in a part time preschool people arent usually using it for 50 hours a week of childcare, but people absolutely still send their kids with runny noses and disgusting coughs. and besides, many viruses are contagious before kids are symptomatic. My firstborn was out sick a lot in the 3s and 4s because he’d never been in group childcare before. Our toddler got most of what he brought home. Now firstborn in jr. K and second is in 2s a few mornings a week. They don’t get sick as often (knock on wood) - so I’d start getting the adjustment and germs over with, and whatever your toddler catches will ultimately mean they probably miss less school when they start which is a silver lining. Plus I think socializing and getting used to structure is good at 3 [/quote]
