Streetdreamx:
My boys started from 1 year and 2 months soon as they started talking I enrolled them, seeing other kids in school made their speech clearer and audible.

This is the comment I was looking for all through and surprised it came after 3 pages.

Most parents enrol their young kids early to build their vocabulary.
And it's 100% effective!... They almost immediately start speaking clearly.

Compliant:


My last kid started at school at 1 year 3months but the school fee no be here o

It is well oh.

May God continue to provide for us we responsible father out there!

Tonididdyx:

Wetin this wan dey tok?

I am telling you what is obtainable because it's my field and I've have never seen any school with kg3. I can tell you this for free because I visit so many different schools.

kernniejay:
creche is baby group (1 to 2yrs), kindergarten is pre-nursery (2 to 3yrs) while nursery is pre-basic (3 to 5yrs) (basic is primary, from 5 to 9yrs/10yrs depending on the sch). I stand to be corrected.

you are very correct, from a professional perspective

According to the national policy on education and as a stake holder.
3yrs- kindergarten
6 years - primary 1
12 yrs- jss1
18 yrs- univerity
This is also d UNICEF standard.thanks

Procashtips:
Serious and organised countries have theirs at 4/5, some even 7.

But in Nigeria, people already want to dump their children in creche from the age of 6 months

l was surprised to learn on TV recently that in China no school its pupils below age 6

tammyf:
When is the right time for a child to start school , 1 ,2 or 3 years .... ? And which class should he start ? Nursery or creche ?

From what I have seen, 3 & above is the best age to start. It's neither too early nor late.


U can perhaps do 2.5, but Anything less than that is just shrinking ur responsibility as a parent

Stanweezy:


I prefer the old ways

Nursery then primary and secondary

All this KG, Creche and what ever they call it , I see it as a way of making money by school owners

can my baby start from primary

Feelings79:

Appreciate this!

All my kids started less than 2 years. It all depends on your schedule and your pocket.

can a child start in primary

Oxmen:
Some nursery sch will said they follow British standard, but a child can only start in abroad from 4yrs.
I will advise you should have reason (Working class parent) to put ur child in sch at earlier age like 2,3yrs. Otherwise, please home school your child till they are 4yrs.

Never let your feelings get too deep for someone cause people can change at any moment.

Female children 🧒 are full of happiness and joy, they are full of joy.

limcar:
can a child start in primary

Yes of course. But it is advisable you start home schooling the child ahead so that he/she can catch up with his/her peers in primary. However, it is better to begin in Nursery so that the child will already be familiar with his/her numbers and alphabets, it makes it easier for the child when he/she gets to primary.

Mine was 2 years

Play in creche till 4 (or 5)

nursery till 5 (or 6)

there's no rush. Better to allow the child to be mentally developed and equipped to handle school than to rush them in at 2.

YourGFsnatcher:
When he's mentally stable enough.. it's not by age. In Finland, schooling starts at 7 years. They have the best educational system. Education is not stressing children, giving them overlaod work and pressuring them. I will never do that to my chidlren. These days we want to force children to grow into fast adults. I don't know all the need to rush. Success in life is not about how early u finish school, u might finish early and still don't have sense. Because your brain has been over pressured.

Once a child is mentally strong to attend school, that is when he should start

Do you live in Finland?

where are you based

It's 7 in Finland and they have the best educational system in the world.

.

It's so,does she have psychological intelligence, yes she might be leading her class and be the best in her studies but does she have other types of intelligence that will help her psychology, social interactions,emotions etc...and every other ways to live life right

Well its because the government and the economy of Nigeria is poorly ruined and a graduate above 26 years can't get a job that's why you see it as fine

Exactly one of the point you should allow your child enrol in school early if they are so intelligent..

Because the present Nigeria might frustrate them in of job

kernniejay:
This is exactly the case with my son too but he is 4yrs now and in KG3. He also started early due to nature of our job and it really helps his intelligence, he is topping his class too.

My brother you did well, some people might see it as wasting of money or pushing your kid beyond their limit, but they don't know what you are giving to them...

Yes, I disagreed with my wife about it at first, but when I saw the result on his IQ, I was very happy.

I thought my kids like a teacher until 5yrs then he enters primary one, and he's above everyone else, even the teachers said he can primary 4 exams. now he's in primary 2 at 6yrs. Please teach them at home first before school.
