Tuesday last week, I visited a preschool close from our home. I might sound too excited here, well, I'm a first-time mom, and I can't help it :)
I've been thinking and many times been contemplating as the moon and stars above are my witnesses to enroll my daughter to preschool. She's turning 2 before the coming school year, so I think she's just right in time. You are right, she'll be 2 before the start of the class. The school teaches from 2-6 years old.
I was toured by the principal, checked there facilities, programs and mode of teaching. I asked about how they can teach children like my daughter considering all she knows and understands are her milk, herself, milk, and herself.
It is very important for me, that my daughter be exposed in an enriched environment - visual, auditory, language and so on - because that lays the foundation for her development later in life. Another reason is to develop her social skills. We live in a place wherein we do not know our neighbors which means she plays alone and with me, of course. As a mother, I want to see her enjoying her childhood, seeing her play with other children and make friends.
But now I'm having second thoughts because my husband is disapproving my desire to enroll our daughter.
"It's too early for her. She can barely utter words. All she could do in class is to look for you.", my husband said.
Until, I saw a blog just recently about a mom who educates her children through homeschooling. You might also check her blog http://just-starting-out.blogspot.com. I was thinking of doing the same method. Since my daughter is just 2, I guess it needs a lot of work and patience. My questions are, how to start? What are the things I need to consider especially with her age? Is this really the perfect age for her to learn more than playing and walking at the park?
