Did you go to Preschool?

[MysticShine 529]

I'm wondering, how many of you went to preschool?

 

I actually never attended preschool, and started school in Kindergarten.

 

I hope I'm not alone here.

[n0body555 334]

Nope! Honestly all I remember is being really scared when going to school... crying.. and then later I went on to Kindergarten

I asked, did you go to Preschool. Not if you remembered it or not.

No I did not go to preschool. I meant to say preschool instead of school

Oh, ok. Well then give the no a vote up there please, so we can let the world know!

I never went to preschool becasue my Gaurdien thought i was to Bad and stuff to go to preschool.

[VitalSpark 1,830]

I did. The place I went to was called "Widgets". I can still remember the general layout of the building and grounds, even thirty years later, though it's possible that's because I would have gone back there while I was primary school aged to collect younger siblings.

I went and I believe I got held back as well since I needed to work on my speech/the way I talk, I didn't mind though, I got to cut class and play games.

[zombienixon 330]

I think I did.  I can't remember if it was just a daycare or if it was also a preschool as well.  Or maybe it was somewhere else that was an actual preschool.  All I know (from what my Mom told me) is that apparently I got really attached to one of the teachers and I was really pissed when she left.

[Jon C 229]

I think my mum took me once and I hated it, so I never went back.

[Psycrow 104]

lol i never went to preschool.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Yes, I went to two preschools during my toddler years:

 

- A preschool located at a church in San Bruno.

 

- A Montessori school in Pinole (I liked and remember it more. The teachers were nice to me.)

 

Overall, preschool was a big highlight of my childhood.

I remember not liking it and isolating myself because of the way I spoke at the time.

Went to Pre-School at the Reynoldsburg United Methodist Church In 1990-1991.

 

Got in trouble for not singing with everyone. :/

...I dont even know what preschool is  so no, I didn't. Unless it's like the American version of Nursery...in which case I did.

 

Guh!  I dont know...why has education got to be so different in other countries?!

It would be the very first year of schooling you can attend. Those who do are about 4 or 5 years of age.

I think that might be nursery then. But that was compulsory education. It wasn't a case of whether or not you wanted to go or not. It was the law

Here, that schooling is optional. My mom never wanted me to go because she was too attached to me.

[Lucky Star 971]

yes I did go, some of my favorite childhood memories are of either being there, or leaving there xD

 

I remember this game day we had and the teacher hid those chocolate coins wrapped gold tinfoil in the sandbox and we all dug for buried treasure.

 

all those field trips and friends who ended up being in the same school with me until highschool.

 

small towns in ohio are like that xD

I did go to preschool. I'm not quite sure why, as I had known everything already. I had pretty much known everything until I went to middle school.  Maybe it was so I could get used to socialization?

(I was kind of a child prodigy )

[Mesme Rize 15,681]

I went to Kindergarten, if that counts.

 

From 1993 to 1996 i went to a very local Kindergarten, which was just a 100 meters away from me. Sometimes it was good, sometimes it wasn't, sometimes i didn't want to go in the first place. It wasn't a must that i had to go there, but my mom said that i needed to socialize with these other kids.

[Namename. 275]

I skipped preschool, but also started school one year early, apparently. So I am the youngest person in my grade; I am probably supposed to be one or two grades back, age-wise. Shm.

[VitalSpark 1,830]

Essentially, yes. But one that focusses more on education and preparing the child for school, and typically only takes children who have reached the age of three, indeed often for just the final year before they begin primary school. In the UK this would be called a "nursery school", or a "nursery class" (if it's officially attached to a particular primary school) or, occasionally, a "preschool".

 

This is different from a "day nursery" which might accept children from just a few months old, and is primarily babysitting rather than education.

I did go to pre-school, however I hated it. Even through you're there from morning to afternoon it's torture. At least mine was. You weren't aloud to bring any of your toys (no drawing or colouring books ), and only got to play with play-doe for most of the time, if we weren't playing with play-doe, we just sit on a rug and repeat ABCs over and over again.

[Dewdlz 938]

I went to preschool twice because both my parents were separated and pulled me out of school, moving between states and my mother put me back in preschool because she didn't know. I didn't have good parents but that's a different subject.
