Preschooling Plans.

Just earlier this noon, my twitter friends were discussing about their plans for their first time preschoolers next year. They were having thoughts whether to go for a traditional, progressive schools and one even thinks homeschooling as an option. It's not that many thinks homeschooling is not a good choice but here in our country, it hasn't gained full welcome among preschoolers' parents still. But I think homeschooling founders, parents and supporters are creating intensive awareness now through online campaigns and other means.

I haven't fully gone drawing definite plans for my son's preschooling because he's way too young. I mean I don't intend to send him to school not until he turns 3 1/2. But this doesn't mean I have to relax and cram and decide at the last minute. So as early as now, I'm researching about these three types of schooling. I have enough resources already for the traditional and progressive schools. In addition to that, my Mother-in-Law owns a traditional preschool to which my son occasionally joins in some of the activities so I have an idea what its curriculum concentrates upon.

With that said, my research is more about homeschooling. The benefits and advantages appears promising: flexible schedule, individual or one-on-one attention, extended family activity, no peer pressure and controlled religious learning. There are more underlying factors that are convincing enough. Parents need not fret because as their kids' teachers a curriculum online is made available for them as their guide. However, it takes great interest and ability to make homeschooling work. These advantages are truly great but I'll take time to study more thoroughly these options. Meanwhile, I can go teaching my toddler the basics like doodling, art, nursery rhymes singing, reading picture books and a whole lot more.
