Pre-school is popularly noted as one of the best options to help prepare your children during their earliest years to fulfill their potential.
This brings to mind a question: … did Homer and Marge Simpson send their kids, Bart and Lisa, to preschool? Do you think they ever considered sending Maggie, their youngest, to preschool?
Alright, go ahead and laugh. Can’t blame you. Afterall, we all know a little something about the misadventures that Bart, Lisa, and even little Maggie routinely find themselves entangled in on the crazy, hilarious cartoon program “The Simpsons.”
Anyway, in getting serious again, let me ask all you parents who live inside Parkchester a question. Are your kids enrolled in preschool and are you comfortable with this? Or are you considering enrolling your kids in pre-school?
Indeed, preschool do have some clear benefits. Here are a few quotes and phrases (all italicized) taken from an article titled “Preschool On The Horizon” by Courtney Daly-Pavone. (Sorry, can't provide link as article isn’t available online.)
1. In selecting a preschool begin the process a year in advance to ensure selecting the best one for your child.
2. It’s important for parents to know how children learn during this time. Play is their form of learning and socializing. This is not a time for a child to be under academic stress.
3. The best benefits of preschool is to take kids outside and let them play with other kids.
4. The best preschools provide a nurturing environment and energetic, creative teachers.

6. It’s best to wait until the child is 3 years old before she/he goes three days a week, Half-day is best for a child under the age of 4. The number of days a week a child attends preschool should match child’s age.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Parents, keep in mind the above opinions are from parents and educators who contributed to the article “Preschool On The Horizon.” And, yes, these opinions are worth considering. But please be advised that thorough research on your own is the best you could do for your child before placing him or her in preschool.
HOMESCHOOLING:
Perhaps you’re a parent who prefers or is considering homeschooling. According to Robert Titzer, Ph.D., creator of the ‘Your Baby Can Learn’ books and also a contributor to the article some of the info here was taken from, this is another very viable option. Dr Titzer words: “if you are motivated, intelligent and love learning, then homeschooling could be a great option. You and your child could learn and bond together.”
