Help choosing a preschool. what do you think?
Preschool #2 is a little further and the teacher said they only have 1 kid enrolled that will go to kindergarten with my son. If it were not for this I would probably choose this preschool for my son, mainIy b/c I know several whose children have went there and they love it! My son is very shy! Doesnt like large groups, slow at making friends. he went to Bible class (without me) last school year and at the end of the year, was still somewhat clingy to the teachers on the playground. maybe another yr will make a difference.just worried about kindergarten w/new kids….

Your son will adapt..let him take his time…Hes just going through a stage with meeting new people…its like if you were to go to a room with 50 people you wouldn’t shput your name and go talk to everyone as soon as you come in..it takes time…follow your heart and pick the school you think is best.
He will appreciate it…Kindergarten is going to go nice….Hey maybe he is slow at making friends becuase he likes to be independent and not follow or hang with other kids…Or he is probably attatched to his Mommy.[awww]
Well thats all I have to say..just remember MOMMY KNOWS BEST!!!
good luck to you and your son!

Pre-school 1
closer to home
child is shy
will move on to Kdg with same kids
Pre–school 2
daily Bible stories
I would go with Pre-school 1:
You like the school. Your son will move on to Kdg with many of the kids he already knows, so he may be more outgoing in Kdg since he is comfortable with his classmates, and you will not have the worry about how he will fit in with a classroom of new friends.
If you are worred about Bible class, you can read the stories to him at home during your daily read together time or you could find a local church for Sunday School. (If he will be going to a public school kindergarten, there won’t be any daily Bible readings anyway).
A good preschool is one that helps develop your child in 5 important areas of life: physical, Intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual.

The fact is that none of the preschools / day care / creche etc are having any proper syllabus and curriculum. The problem of preschools in India is so grave that even the Government of India is awakened to this reality and is coming up with Curricular Laws.
I also suggest you to go for Five Point Formula from “Preschool for Child Rights”, which is mentioned here – http://www.preschoolforchildrights.com/free-articles-school-parent-preschool-play-school-magazine-parenting/articles-for-parents/how-to-choose-the-best-preschool-for-your-child/
