[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. The 3 year old is in preschool in the am (3 hours/day) and during the academic year she has an activity M-Th: gymnastics, soccer, swimming, and dance. She’s been swimming since she was a year (we would have started earlier, but COVID). Soccer, gymnastics, and dance are for exposure, socialization, balance/coordination, and structure. This fall we put my little one in a baby playgroup class once a week, gymnastics once a week, and a 75 minute preschool type class where the parent is present. We have a FT nanny who does a lot of activities, but I still like classes. We’re applying to Pre-K for my oldest and preschool for my youngest this fall, so when my oldest is 4 she’ll probably do fewer activities because she’ll be in school longer. At this age it’s about exposure. I was a college athlete and it takes a lot of time and energy to be at the top of a sport. I want my kids to appreciate movement/enjoy exercise.[/quote]
