Lol. Ok. Nice. But i want to ask. Which from the three(creche, Kg, nursery) will u advise a parent to start a child from? To me, i will skip the creche part. I will also skip the Kg part. But am afriad of dat Kg aspect. I fear if i skip Kg, it will affect the child. kernniejay: |

Love800:Starting from Nursery is better, it is actually where learning begins. For me, those prior stages are mere play group. 2 Likes |

bukatyne:They allow them to play and get understand life, environment and friendship in their own way before they are indoctrinated into school life. Infact, for the first year in school they don't teach them anything serious, they play with various prototypes of shapes, colors, materials, instruments. After your first year, when they tell you this is a cone, even olodo cannot forget becuse u've been playing with it for a year. Their assignments are also very minimal and they don't stay long in school hours. They don't work with positions, they work in teams. They learn the right way. They are currently doing better than any other country in terms of education. Other countries are going there to learn their methods. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Love800: Ask yourself this question During your time, did your dad send you to KG or Creche, and does that makes you less intelligent. Even in the absence of all that we still have intelligent kids that came out with First class, many of them. If you can afford going through KG and Creche before Nursery then no issue, but if you can't start with nursery |

Procashtips: That's BS No competition or merit system... 🤣🤣🤣 So both 3rd class and 1st class na mates? ... There's nothing admirable in the finnish system of education otherwise trust me "if truly it's the best", the entire world will adopt their system. |

DivinegiftofGod:Nigerians just have this mentality that if their kid don't start school within a year, it's lack of money. Let's be frank, a 2 years child have no business in school. It's total wastage. Best is home school them. Parents nowadays prioritize money over their kids. Imagine a child of 1 year is already a burden they have to dump in school. No time to bond with them 1 Like 1 Share |

While in canada...them no send u ooo...ur child have to be five before the admitt him or her....that is why care giving job is very lucrative abroad....u will always need them |

Offpoint1: I agree that at 2 a child is too young to be in school but I don`t agree that you have no time to bond with them if they, for example, are in a creche. Many kids enjoy playing in small groups with other kids and learn a lot by doing so, not in terms of formal education, but social skills and they have a lot of fun there. Being at home all day long can be boring. |
Re: When Is The Right Time For A Child To Start School ? by Offpoint1: 1:28pm On Jan 18, 2024 |
Hathor5:I understand social bonding, all of that can be done at home during the first 3 years. Let me play with other neighbors kids in the hood, just draft time they can spend outside. |
