School is a great playground for kindergarten-age children. I remember having a smart 4-year old in my class when school started in September, and he was shy but brilliant. At first it was a little rough for him socially because he was afraid to open up, but I'm sure that with some motherly encouragement he'll make it through.\n\nIt will benefit him if he gets an early start to his education! I graduated among the youngest in my class and it was nice to be younger while accomplishing the same things as your peers, because you have a sort of head start. \n\nI think it's best to go on your gut instinct on this one. Good luck!

They should start the minute they crawl out of the womb.  These days, kids have to be able to read before they are allowed to enter kindergarten, so early home schooling is a must.\n\nWhere I live, kindergarteners are required to read, add subtract and multiply by 2, 3, 4 and 5.  I know a local teacher and her 1st graders have to be able to use a digital video camers, upoload it into a computer, edit it, and produce a movie which must include a title page, special effects and a credits page.

A family member that is a kindergarden teacher once told me that when children enter her class she can automaticly know which children went to pre-school and who did not.  Children that go to pre-school are better socialy and mentaly prepared to go to kindergarden.  They also are smarter.

what ever place you go to please check and visit with the teachers. Ask about the curriculum and what educational components that they offer. \n\nMost preschools should have advertisements for enrollment in newspapers.\n\nBe sure you are comfortable with your childs teachers.

Requirements for regular licenses to teach kindergarten through grade 12 vary by State. However, all States require general education teachers to have a bachelor’s degree and to have completed an approved teacher training program with a prescribed number of subject and education credits, as well as supervised practice teaching. Some States also require technology training and the attainment of a minimum grade point average. A number of States require that teachers obtain a master’s degree in education within a specified period after they begin teaching.

Montessori schools believe in the "hands on" method of teaching, for instance while teaching multiplications (which they do teach to 5 year olds) they give the child an abacus and have them show the new numbers being multiplied in. I highly recommend a Montessori school for Pre-School and Kindergarten but I might not for elementary, the lack of homework will make it much harder for your child to adjust. Good luck!

It is actually not a country wide decision.  In the US each state governs its own education system.  However, you must be 5 years old to enroll in Kindergaten.  Kindergarten in my state is available, but not mandatory, through the public education system.  I believe they can enroll in the Headstart program which is gov't funded at the age of 3. Other institutions such as religious sponsored daycare sometimes designate different ages to begin their education process.

Bring in things that preschoolers would like. Things like cookis and different kinds of candy. show them the object tell them the shape and why. Doing activities with stuff that preschoolers like helps them memorize it.

Obviously, kindergarten teachers should not be teaching about the actual sexual intercourse between same-sex partners, just as the they should not be teaching about intercourse of heterosexual partners. Sex Ed should not begin at school when they are that agem for sure. So that is not even part of the question. Its just common sense.\n\nAs for the idea of homosexual partners, its a reality. Whether you think it is wrong or not, it is still happening. A common theme for that age of children would be "Familes". Just as you would hopefully tell children that a single parent and his or her children is a family, I hope you would also tell them that a child with two moms or two dads is a family. \n\nYes, some religions are against same-sex relationships. But that doesnt mean that children should be taught intolerance. If anything, it would be up to the child's family to pass on their beliefs. There are also some religions which are against divorce, but that doesn't mean that you should tell your students that divorce is wrong, and that little Suzie's stepmother isn't part of her family because she didn't give birth to her. \n\nSchool is meant to prepare students for the world. This means that they need to know what to expect, and they also need to be accepting and nonjudgmental. \n\nIt seems to me like you are offended by the truth that same-sex couples exist, and by calling that practice "garbage", and refusing to allow this topic in your classroom, you are the one who is squashing freedom.

They will learn their morals, values and how to do things the way the teachers are & do in daycare.  They will turn into children you don't even know b/c they are being raised by someone else.

Remember every school has something different to offer for the children. You have to find the right fit for your family.\nSome things I looked at when choosing a kindergarten was schedule, classroom size, if the teacher had parent volunteers and a teachers aide, diversity, etc.\n\nGood luck!

This is what I found on the site noted below.  There is a lot more info if you want to look it up.\n\n"Children between the ages of three to six go to kindergarten. There they study language, math, singing, and painting and participate in sports. However, because there is a shortage of room, many children do not get to participate in pre-school education. But, because of the importance placed on education, that is changing.\n\nAfter kindergarten, the educational system is broken into three stages. Primary school, secondary school and then the university. Primary school is required and last for six years. Although in the more rural areas of China, the schooling is always enforced.\n\nWhile in primary school, the students are exposed to math, Chinese and one foreign language, English or Japanese. These are the main subjects, however they covered is Biology, music, art, politics, history, physics, chemistry and geography.\n\nOnce they complete with their primary school education, an exam is taken before they proceed to the next stage � secondary school. This also lasts for six years, broken down into middle and upper school. A student will go to middle school for three years, upon which another exam is taken before proceeding into upper school. The student who completes the middle school stage may then proceed into vocational colleges.\n\nPrimary and middle school is required, but from here on they have the choice to quit or continue their education. Within the vocational schools there are three types: technical secondary schools, vocational high schools and skilled worker�s schools. With technical schools the idea is to create managerial personnel for the front line of production. With vocational high schools, the training is focused on certain professional skills. Lastly are the skilled workers schools.\n\nThese are for bringing about technical workers. Essentially, a vocational school allows a student to study technical, teacher training or agricultural courses. How well they do with the upper school education depends upon if they can meet the university entrance requirements, which are known to be difficult and demanding.\n\nThe highest level of education that one can receive in China is a university education. This is something that is offered to a small amount of Chinese. For instance, in 10,000 students only 18 will be offered a university education. The main study at universities is in humanities and science, although there is an interest in architecture and engineering. However, the emphasis is usually placed on scientific and technical education.\n\nOnce the students finish with their university education, it is up to the authorities to find them employment. Also, on a small scale, is the emergence of post-graduate study. Today, China has a post-graduate education system in place."

The correct answer is "NO".\nThat's why kindergarten students can answer it so easily.\nhttp://fun.egreetingsetc.com/2F/D/AI/index.shtml
