Have you sent or are you planning on sending your child(ren) to preschool? Why or why not?

I chose to home preschool both of my kids. I'm very happy with my decision to do so.

I believe that it's a personal, individual choice for no one but the parents of the particular child, to make.

Boy, did I have a lot of mothers tell me how wrong I was when we moved to NC and they found out that I wasn't sending my dd to preschool! I actually had women tell me that I was depriving her and that my decision could possibly scar her for life because she wouldn't be as smart as the others who went to preschool!

I don't think so! I did a lot of research before I home preschooled my son so I already had a good idea of what she needed to learn. I also contacted her school to ask what she would be learning in kindergarten, if they had a goal that they were looking for her to reach before starting and if she would be tested before the first day of school--they didn't have a goal and she wasn't tested beforehand but she was very prepared! I'm happy to say that she is among the top of her class right now!

Like I said, I think that it is a personal decision. Whatever works for you is best.
