Parents, Do you have/had your kids' in preschool...?

Yep!! My 4-yr-old starts next week, plus my older ones all did preschool at age 4 :) We always really encouraged them and made a big deal about them going to "big kid school" and talked about all the fun things they'd do (really focusing on the positives and not the negatives, like being away from mommy and daddy for the morning). My 2 daughters were exactly like your daughter -- both were a bit nervous at first but both grew to LOVE it. It's tough for kids to transition sometimes and sometimes new situations can be really exhausting, so definitely give her a few days. Keep telling her about how amazing school is -- maybe talk about her teachers, maybe talk about the activities, ask who she did activities with / if she's making any friends - and definitely try to make it all positive, even if you're a bit nervous. I'm sure she'll love it

:)

It may be she did not like the teachers telling her what to do the first day or had a problem with another student or something more concerning could be going on. I would question her more, ask her if there is anything strange at the preschool or stuff going on that doesn't seem right. Did anyone make fun of her or say something bad about your religion. I would ask her many specific questions instead of open-ended ones. I would ask her all about her day, see if you can get her to give you details of what they do in the morning before snack, what they do after snack, and so forth. If she continues to respond in the manner she has, I would not take her back there. If she is not happy with the place, there is a reason.

regrettably if the mothers and dads won't take duty you are able to enable the instructor be conscious of. I additionally take my daughter to a preschool the place the mothers and dads help and we've a strict rule that youngsters could behave. After the 1st offense they could go living house early the 2d they pass over classification for each week and the third they are asked to circulate living house and wait some extra months to return lower back. you'll be doing this little woman a choose through telling the instructor besides if her mom isn't keen to handle the undertaking possibly her instructor will help and instruct the newborn some thing. i be conscious of you are able to experience undesirable in the previous each thing yet you besides could could desire to set an occasion on your very own newborn. you probably did the superb element through returning her to her mom and now which you be conscious of her mom will no longer do something take the subsequent step i might desire that somone might try this for my newborn if I ever desperate to no longer be a stable mom. I desire you the better of success and desire that each thing works nicely.

I didn't because I don't really think kids need it and I think the possibility of something going wrong is high.

Honestly? I would say she is tired and needing time to take things in. I would give it at least a few weeks before I'd judge whether she's liking it or hating it. My daughter is a chatterbox, but after she's been playing for a while, or having a new experience or social experience, then she tends to need quiet wind-down time to figure things out. It's normal. If it continues after a few weeks, then I'd look more into it.

My daughter went to pre-k when she was 4. (about 3 hours per day at the elementary school)

She was quiet about it at first. - It was very different to be away from me. Then she started to love it! But by the end, she kept asking me "am I finished with school yet? I want to stay home and play." Nothing was wrong. She just got bored of the same old routine after 28 weeks.

When she was 5, I sent her to daycare after school. First couple of days, she was nervous. After that she started asking me to LEAVE her until closing time. She was having too much fun to go home!

My kids only went two days a weeks because, well, it was expensive to send them to a highly rated school. They loved it, but they always "forgot"what they did that day when I asked, and then later on while they were in the bath, or I was cooking dinner they would remember and offer up some of their days experience. I didn't worry about it, I mean I have a hard enough time trying to remember somethings when prompted out of the blue, too.

my 3 yo is in kinder, here that's like preschool, at his age it's 2 1/2 hours twice a week, he has great fun, plays with heaps of kids, if I pick him up a bit early I catch him having heaps of fun but he'll never tell me anything about it, I ask him what he did and he'll just say "I did stuff" I ask if he played with his friends and he'll completely ignore me, I think he's 3 going on 13! lol the point is though that while I know he has fun there he still never really talks about it despite the fact that he too can be a real chatterbox, I think he likes to keep it separate from me, kinder is HIS time, when he doesn't have to be around Mummy or his sister, it's private in a way.

My daughter was thrilled about it. She told me on the first day that I could "go now." My son was a little clingier, and had a harder time adjusting. He was good by the end of it.
