It is bittersweet. Mine is 21/2 and I’m already worried and sad about her starting school

My son starts kindergarten September and other than working with him on his writing skills, we haven’t done much “preparing”. But then his two older sisters are going and he’s quite excited. My son does got to preschool three times a week so perhaps that really was the best prep we’ve done.

my daughter is only 15 months, but we are going to put her in preschool in the fall. when we went to tour it, i felt like she is too little to be going already!

My little girl starts in September as well and I’ve been going through the same things. You’re lucky yours will be half day, my daughter is starting with full day kindergarten and I’m terrified for her. It’s going to be a long day. Hope she’ll be okay. I know she will, she is so excited. It’s just me worrying too much.

My girl is starting full time JK in Sept. Super shy, so I’ve had her in preschool 2 mornings total of 5hrs a week its just now seeing her open up. She’s find if people come to our house, but I’ve been active in mom’s group since she was born, playdates etc and its just hard to get her out of shell.
I just praise the things she does in school and say how fun it is. By doing this I have seen a change. Hopefully it goes that well when she starts everyday.

My son is starting JK in September as well, all day, everyday! He will only be 3, not turning 4 until November, so he seems so young still. We are only just mastering potty training! I have done similar things, such as walking the route to school and he came with me to register, so he saw where the gym, the JK classrooms and the office are. Our neighbourhood park is right beside the school, so we see the school often and he has even met a handful of kids at the park who are also starting JK this fall. Since my little guy is a very active and busy boy, I’m a little anxious about him sitting and listening as well. We are working on printing his name using lots of hands-on methods (with stamps, playdough, with chalk, etc.). I’m sure there’ll be an adjustment period, but I’m hoping for the best!

My daughter won’t be starting Kindergarten until next September but this past January I put her 1 day a week into Nursery School. She absolutely LOVES it and I think it is really going to help prepare her for ‘real’ school next year.

My daughter is starting kindergarten in September and is very excited. I taken her to a few things at the school so she gets familiar with the environment and gets even more excited. The school she is going to has had a couple get ready for kindergarten days and next month they are having a welcome to kindergarten day for all the kids that are registered to attend in September, she even gets an invite in the mail for this one…
