Your boy is ready for preschool already???  How old is he now, probably not 3 gua?

Which preschool will probably be based on which location is more convenient for you.  Generally, montessori is better but they also charge more.

I heard some preschools charge non-montessori price but they copy from montessori programs.

just wondering for all parents out there...

what age did you start sending your kid to preschool/daycare?
my son is only 1 years old now so i know it's a bit early to worry..but i also know most places require early early registration and waiting lists..so i want to get some opinion

i've noticed that some preschools start at 2.5 years old and some at 3 years old

and...is preschool necessary/mandatory?
or is a playgroup sufficient until they head to kindergarten?

the reason i'm asking this is because i'll probably be moving to taiwan when my son is about 3 or 4 years old...in a way i'm worried if he makes a lot of connections/friends in school here and i have to make him leave halfway, he'll have a hard time settling in taiwan. but i also want him exposed to an english-speaking environment before he turns into a 台客 in taiwan..

a lot of personal questions here, only you can answer for yourself...

preschool is not mandatory

some places take 2.5 but some places don't, generally 3 and up is OK

playgroup is play only, you might want your kid to learn some basic stuff

don't worry about too much, I don't think there'll be a big problem if you let him go to preschool, normally you only go for a few hours a week.
