Thoughts on preschool? Kylee is in a service called Birth to 3 and after she turns 3 she will lose…

I’m definitely doing it next year with my son!

@anacort, it’s a program where if a baby is delayed and under 3 they will come out to your house and work with them

@tinyhumansbitch, 🤔😟 I’m thinking about letting her go. She turns 3 in December so they aren’t gonna start her until next year, but I only have until October to decide if I’m gonna do it or not

@anacort, no she’s never been around kids her age, her 2 month old brother is the only she’s really ever been around

I’m hoping my son makes the cut off for next year since he’ll turn 3 September 8th and they start school before that🙃

If your child receives services from birth to 3, they would probably qualify for a public preschool program. After 3 the public schools are required to provide services for any special education students. You could look into your public preschool program

Your daughter isn’t going to not be your baby because she goes to school. Try to focus on the benefits of her attending school. I worked in a daycare, children definitely pick up on things from each other. We often encouraged the children who were on the brink of walking to be with the children who were confidently walking because children naturally try to keep up with their peers. I understand your apprehension. My son is at home right now but if professionals told me he was falling behind and could benefit from school, I’d take a stab at it now rather than risk him falling further behind later. I hope that makes it easier on you. You haven’t failed as her mother if you choose to send her. If anything you’re putting her first.

Def do preschool. It can only help, especially if she has never been around kids her own age

@mswedes, you very articulately put into words what I was thinking! Thank you for sharing your perspective! 💜💜

@scruffy.nerf.herder, thanks! I’ve been attacked at times for responding and not covering my bases so I try to be careful now. 🙄

My son had seizures he was birth til 3 because he was born at 34weeks he is now 12yrs old and will be 13yrs old October 9th he is doing awesome. His whole school loves him lol he's such a great kid. I say that to say just give it a try 😏

@anacort, She’s had no other kids in the family her age, and at the park it’s my fault because I won’t let her always go play with the other kids... in fear something bad will happen. I’m not saying accidents won’t ever happen but most kids at the park are twice her age and I know they won’t wanna play with her😣

@mswedes, thank you🙂 it’s hard really because I don’t wanna put her in so soon...but I also don’t wanna hold her back😣 your right tho she would learn so much from other kids

@sirdonte18momisanurse, thank you! I’m so nervous but I appreciate everyone’s advice!
