What is the importance and advantage of Play school?
I would like your comments on this issues. In Europe and America, kids are not allowed to go for study before 3.5 years but in India all it starts at 2 years. It is wise to send such a tender child to school when child could not develop sufficient immune system. I abstained from sending my child from play school for various reasons including cost also which is not necessary. I have come to know that at the time of admission in nursery, schools counts on play school points. Do all the schools play school points criteria. My baby is exceptionally talented and she is grooming well at home in the company of her mother who is house wife.
Kindly suggest me whether I have taken a good decision for not sending my baby to play school.

Playschools - i generally dont like them at all , but in today's environment kids need to be around kids after a certain age , my daughter asked to be sent to school only then i got her admitted to a playschool in my area , i didnt have any expectations from it other than she will be with kids her age for 2-3 hrs a day , that helps in building social skills which cant be taught at home alone , other than that abc's 123's can be taught anywhere and she had already learnt all that at home, play schools should not be teaching children how to write spl 2 yr olds max is learning rhymes and alphabets orally ,colouring with crayons etc something which will get repeated in nursery anyways
so now coming to your question , from my side playschools are just a forum for kids interacting with each other and learning a few things abt what being in a school is about , thats it , no school in delhi where i applied asked me abt my play school and what my child did there

Kudos :-)...there are many who homeschool their children....so I agree with Nidhi here...almost all of us are capable of teaching our kids till 10th, some even till 12th, so do we do that? Only select few take that risk....the risk which may define your child's future :-)

Can you give the 10th certificate, where is this debate going

Restirct the discussions to whether or not the toddlers to be sent to school at the age of 2, without certificates and degrees nothing would happen, this is a different debate altogether, don't distract
-

true -sending a hild to play schoold does not guarantee a degree - A play school at 1.5 -2 is basically similar to a crech ( care taking place ) for parents who do not have enough time to spend with there child
So NO for a play school at such an early age .

I also agree with Ms. Lall, i myself have seen quite improvements in my child after putting him to play school.. things which we can not imagine he knows it better than us.. and also in play schools they are not starting it up with writing skills that they start later once child understand and recognize the things..
in today's scenario very few mothers are house wife and devoting good quality time with child.. but in the case of working women these schools are helping us to develop our child.. my son has learnt most of the things from the school like eating habbit, making friends etc.. and now he is comfortable to go to school..

You know what training can do, you all must have seen an elephant in the circus tied to a peg, do you think an elephant is not capable of uprooting the peg, this is training, nothing to be happy about in the case of toddlers going to schools at the age of 2

I totally agree with Riti that playschools of today, contribute to the overall development of the child.They get a chance to interact with other kids of their age, learn something new almost everyday, and develop new healthy habits.All this can also be done at home as some people might suggest, but, in a playschool this is done in a structured manner, under the guidance of a trained teacher, which makes all the difference.I personally have had a very good experience with my son's playschool and can vouch for this.

Now here is the catch. We want our kids to be outgoing, mix with other kids with confidence, but at what age. My son never went to play school and he was a shy kid. But now that he is going to a regular school, he has developed the confidence and mixes with other kids of his age easily. He was a fussy eater, but now he eats calmly.
So t is about doing the things at 2 rather than at 3 years. It is about my ego and sense of achievment that he can do things earlier than other kids of his age. Oh, my kid could count till 10 at age of 2 itself..........

Dear Anurag,
Playschool has its own (+)ve and (-)ve points.
While I do not actually subscribe to the ideas of sending toddlers of 2 years to playschool, i would recommend sending them when they are 3.5 years old. That gives them about 6 months to mingle with other kids, stay away from mummy and NOT CRY :), etc. before the Nursery admission sets forth at 4 years.
I did the same thing with my kids. My wife( housewife) inculcated the very basics habits. Once we found our kids to be a little SHY, we enrolled them to Playschool for about 6 months. That gave them time to interact and become more social/ extrovert.
So when we finally set out for the Nursery admission race, my kid was apt with basics and also with social mingling, concept of friends, staying away from mummy, riding in a VAN/BUS :).
Final decision has to be taken by the parents. And do remember that some Playschool charges over the moon due to BRAND association, digital classes, blah, blah!, which to me are of not much importance to the toddlers.
regards
Gautam Oinam
