Parents typically send kids to playschool at ages ranging from 18 months to 4 years. The ideal age really depends on your needs, your child and the kind of play school. For example, some parents might send children to school to play with other children, working parents might want children to be in preschool for a longer time etc.

But it is important to note that for young children till age 3, schools should have only play and unstructured and social activities and no formal instruction. They are not ready for it yet and premature forced instruction can even hinder their natural flair for learning.
