Is preschool really necessary?
I’m a SAHM and lately my husband’s friends have been talking about how their kids benefited from preschool and that it might be a good idea to put our son in preschool. I understand that it helps with socialization but my question is if it’s really necessary especially since I try to provide my son with an enriching environment in and out of home (story time, play time, going to the museum or park, arts + crafts, etc).
So, my questions are:
1) Is preschool really necessary to prepare a child from kindergarten and on?
2) Does your child go to preschool? (If not are you planning on having him/her go to preschool or are you skipping it all together?)
Not necessary at all. Enjoy the time you are spending with your son. The only reason why I sent my oldest to preschool was that she was bored and needed a challenge. She had one year of preschool. My other 2 each went for 2 years becasue I loved the few hours a week that it gave me to do whatever needed to be done without the little ones!! Do what is best for you and your family.
