Is 2 TOO Young to Start Preschool and Montessori Vs. Other Preschools

Hi I.,

Absolutely! I think 2 is a great age to start. Anything that gets them thinking, owning their experiences, socializing and developing their unique skills is great for development!

I honestly think that we hold our children back, assume that they're too young or innocent to start their education, when really it's only us as parents who want to believe that they aren't ready. More than likely it's the parents who don't want to let go of their child as a baby than the child's readiness.

Anyway, good on you, and I support you completely. I am 4 months pregnant and plan on getting my child in as early as possible.

Best of luck,
T.

Montessori is the way to go but do your research because there are very few authentic ones out there~!

Hello I.:

Much of schooling depends on the personality of the child. If your youngster is outgoing and active, preschool will not traumatize her. If she is a non-talker and a bit of a clinger, you might want to wait until she is three. Most youngsters at her age do well with supervised play groups a couple of times a week as opposed to full time pre-school. Many of them still need quite a bit of the one on one care and attention. Good luck.
