first, if you want to send you child to kindergarden, they must be potty trained. Some will not accept if a child is not potty trained.

Also, if you must send your child to kindergarden at age of 3, find them one that is not emphasizing on academic teachings. Cause they are only 3 years old, they should be learning about physical activity, interaction and so on in a fun manner.

I send my kids to real kindergardens at age of 5. At 4, they go to dancing classes and other fun activity classes. This will gradually introduce them to real school. I try not to emphasize too much on academic. I don't mind if my kid grew up and become a hair stylist. As long as they are good human being who contribute to society.

yup...that is the kind of kindergarden you should send you child to. That is if you are unable or no time to teach your child those things. I understand some parents are very busy. I remember when kindergarden only starts at age 6. That is why they called it pre-school. Then as parents get more and more kiasu, it became 5 and then 4. Now it seems like going to 3. Soon we will have schools to pre-birth babies. "Teach them math while they still in your stomach..." LOL....
