hi all

My son is 10th dec 2010 born..... my concern apart from the eligibility criteria is whether he is ready for school ... The play school my son goes to have kids who are Feb 2010 and May 2010 born .... n they would be applying this year too .... I see a huge difference between them as they are better with their speech , coloring etc....

My point is tht he should not lack behind from them..... so should i wait for another year??/

Pls give me ur views??

@ Ayushi Nangru

Delaying school entry to get advantage over others is not a winning strategy.

Due to birth date some children are "ready for school" and others are not has become controversial now.Just as children begin to work or talk at different ages, they also develop the psychological and social aptitudes necessary for school at varying ages.

So going by the correct cutoff age for admission will always be a wise decision on your part.

Educators and even parents feel that schools need to be ready for children. School programs can be designed so that all children of the chronological age to enter school can benefit from the program.

If you or the school identify some areas of your child's development that seem to lag behind, use this information to help you and the school plan for the special attention that your child may need. By sharing information with your child's teacher and other school staff, you can help the school be ready for your child. At the same time, you can encourage your child's cognitive, physical, and emotional development before they enter school and get feedback from teachers too and form a good partnership to improve your child in all ways.

So I am really confused ??? pls help

@UMA,Amity is academic based and shalom is holistic based Tough to compare. But Amity is more popular.

Uma,Amity Gurgaon has mixed feedback (Where Amity Delhi/Noida are quite sought after) so better visit the schools first.
