Pre-School

[economom]

For a lot of us, not sending our children somewhere during the day isn't an option.

My son is almost 2 and is at the same level of your daughter. It's a beautiful thing, really, but I agree- now that he's approaching 2, it's difficult because now I realize that he can't stay at the daycare he's at because he is definitely outpacing all of them. I suggest looking into charter schools and their curriculum, because a lot of them have individualized approaches because they understand that children all learn at a different pace and that they need more attention in other areas of their development. Hence, why they're not public schools and charter schools. There are also private schools, but the price tag is pretty high and they're also not very aware of doing anything unique for every child, they just expect your children to work at a certain rate of development.

Hope this helps!

Don't worry - celebrate! My child is very similar to yours. At 2 he was speaking and reading very well - sentences, knew all shapes, colors, letters. At 2.5 he is starting to write letters, talks in even longer sentences, can add easy numbers. He was really shy at 1 to 2. He would get frightened around other kids, strangers. Other kids took his toys away all the time. He would insist I hold his hand at mommy and me classes all the time. With lots of mommy and me classes, and NO PUSHING into doing anything social he does not want to, he is a lot better. I definitely stress the "no pushing". If he wants to hold my hand and do nothing - fine. I went at his pace. We went to lots of playdates to find the right preschool recently, and he was not shy at all. They change. They really do. He's no longer shy really. Still not boistrous, but definitely he can function fine. I am sending him to an educational preschool for 3 hours a day from age 3, but I would not do it earlier. He would have been very upset to separate from me or his nanny that young. Very bright children can be hypersensitive. They can be shy and retiring, because they are thinking a lot more about the repercussions of things than some other children. The same thing happened to me. At preschool I was very shy, and they sent a psychologist to IQ test and generally observe me, and he pronounced me highly gifted. By kindergarten I was fine socially, and I have 3 Oxford degrees. Don't worry - celebrate !

I use to be a preschool teacher and if your daughter is able to do all of what you say, then I suggest you continue to teach her at home as well as put her in school! Make sure you acknowledge her learning abilities so they are able to do other creative lessons with that do not make her bored.

My son is 3 years old. He can read some but he too has learned simple addition and counting to 110. Knows the days of the week, months of the year, and sign language. I am working on my second degree in Communication Disorders so I teach him a lot of the sign language that I have taken in college. He will be attending VPK this year but i will continue to teach him at home as well. I will def. be checking in with the teachers on updates with him to make sure he is not bored in the class in case I need to switch his pace.

I also teacher kids 2,3 and 4 online- check us out! https://www.facebook.com/EarlyLearnersOnline
