[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool is awesome.  FT preschool is even better than PT.  why bother w. PT?  It's only a few hours which I'm not sure what the point of is except it makes scheduling awful - by the time you drop them off at 9 you have to get them again in a couple hours why bother?  My 3 yr old speech delayed son got better at speech, became fully potty trained and is thoroughly happier from making new friends and playing outside every day.  The skills and socialization are great at age 2 or 3 in school.  So what if historically preschool did not begin until age 4?  How can you judge it to be in any way worse or a bad thing if kids start earlier than age 4?  We had an awesome nanny before age 2 1/2 but there's something about being in a peer environment, having a consistent structure daily that is really enriching for little ones.  Shame on the pp who belittle preschool just because they choose to not go that route!

I credit preschool for how much it's positively impacted our son - in every way.

OP - you need to let nanny go and get someone who drives or do FT preschool instead.  And yes preschool hrs are 7am-6pm M-F for FT but most likely only 9-noon for PT for the majority.  If your school offers 7am and is only PT I really am surprised OP.  [/quote]

This is absurd.  I am aware of absolutely zero evidence that a 3-year-old child is better off for going to school full day.  Not saying they're worse off either, but your suggestion that it is better is preposterous.  Many parents are able to give their kids wonderful language exposure, socialization, and skills development at home.  If you can't, that's your failing.  But I don't know anyone who sends their kid to full-day preschool unless the parents' work schedule requires it.  [/quote]
