RE: When did your child start attending preschool programs?
I think you might be surprised Christine. Sarah is very clingy, but she has loved preschool from day 1. The atmosphere is very different and the teachewrs are trained to help kids transition away from being at home.
And in my book, a super expensive preschool does not equal better. I have very definite views of what makes a good school. Most important to me are age appropriate play and warm, caring teachers. Neither of those are expensive. In fact, I don't like many expensive programs because they often are filled with programs that are catered to appeal to parents, not what is most appropriate for the children.
