Here's why we send our son to preschool.
1. He's an only child so it's a great opportunity for him to develop social skills and make new friends.
2. It helps him get used to the structure of school.
3. They will have him do the occasional activity that we wouldn't think of.
4. He likes it.
He only goes 3x a week for 3 hours at a time.
You're going to need to figure out a way to deal with his advanced skills now- He'll probably be bored for the first 5 years of elementary until they start allowing advanced science, math and other GATE programs. If you have a choice in schools pick the school with the highest scores. It doesn't mean they have better teachers, it means that most of the kids are more advanced- so the teacher will be encouraged to move faster and provide a more challenging curriculum rather than "teaching the basics."
