Re: please help me understand wat comes first and later!!!
Ammar went to a private 2 day a week pre-k program called “discovery kids” when he was 4 yrs old (10am -2pm) , and the twins got into a pre-k program at the public school at the age of 4 also because being preemies, they were already enrolled in the ECI (early chilhood intervention) program because Jibran had speech development delays…but ages 2-3, I had them at home with me…even thinking about applying to schools at the age of 3 months is ridiculous to me. Here in Texas, age 5 is the official start to public school. You have to be 5 yrs old by Sept 1st, to be able to enroll your child in kindergarten at a public school. And it is not legally necessary to send your child to KG. Because of funding cuts, more and more schools are cutting back on their Pre-K programs too…
I know it is becoming more and more common to start worrying about schooling before the kid is even born, I hear this all the time from my cousins in Karachi, and friends here too in the US who are trying to get their kids into competative private schools…I think kids, especially babies, should be allowed to be kids for as long as possible…just my opinion…
