Many parents ask whether homeschooling is preferred over preschool. My answer is a resounding, no. I think preschool is very important for your child's development. The reason being that three to five are the age appropriate time for your child to develop social skills. When working at home, there are no other children challenging your child to learn about themselves, forcing your child to use those in their community. The other challenge that they get when they are at a preschool are other adults. Other adults giving them new boundaries, other adults giving them cues, and different things from them. All of those things are great challenges for them and three to five is a perfect age for those to figure those things out. As they farther they go, the harder it is for them to figure those things out.
