[quote=Anonymous]The entire point of preschool is to socialize a child in a structured group setting. While learning new concepts is part of it, the major point is to teach children how to follow direction and interact nicely with other children so when they enter kindergarten they won't overwhelm the teacher or be overwhelmed themselves by all the rules and other students. I don't think a nanny even with playgroups can provide the same environment a preschool can (socially). The best you can do is keep a very structured environment and routine that is divided into teaching different subjects throughout the day. If the children have a playroom, break the room into different sections to mimic a preschool room and create lesson plans that incorporate dramatic play, sensory play, literacy development, wall charts that focus of the subject of week etc. I'd visit a preschool and observe to get an idea of how they structure everything if you haven't taught preschool before. But honestly I think the children should do at least one or two days of actual preschool before they enter kindergarten otherwise they are going to take a lot longer to adjust.[/quote]
