[quote=Anonymous]OP, I struggled with whether to start my oldest at 2.5 or 3.5. At 20 months, during preschool registration season, I thought no way. That summer, at almost 2.5, I thought it would be great for him and luckily found a spot at a great play-based preschool that had a couple people pull-out over the summer. He went two days a week for three hours at a time. He was with the nanny the rest of the time. With my younger, I knew I wanted to do 2.5, because it was such a great experience for my older. That meant the nanny had about 5 hours per week with no kids (accounting for the drive back to my house from school and then back for pick-up). She did kid laundry, occasional sweeping, light cleaning, and prepared the kids' lunch for when they came home. My kids were pretty clingy and I thought it was good for them to start having that time away from not only my husband and me but also their nanny. That said, waiting until 3.5+ is totally fine, too.
