Well researched preschools are awesome! I sent my son to preschool for 2 days a week at 18 months... and has gone every year since then. He is now 5, starting Kindergarten in the fall, and will blow them away with his maturity level. He has learned essential social skills and how to behave in a classroom, follow directions, and make new friends. It was absolutely imperative for him to separate from me as he was VERY attached as a baby... stressful for both me and him. My daughter is 2 and just started preschool this past year. It has been a blessing to her to be able to make new friends, play with different toys, and experiment with her independence. I am a firm believer in preschool... not only does it provide a safe environment for kids to separate from their parents for a few hours a week, it gives mom a break to clean the house! ;) GEESH! It's not like you're sending her off to the college dorm!
