New mom" DB is only 7 mos. Dh is pressing me about preschool, starting to worry about private school. I believe all the private schools give a great education, I am not concerned. Should I be concerned? TIA! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

not at all! It really just works itself out when you give them a good start with socializing giving them a great many experiences (parks, museums, reading, exploring, etc) for the first 4 years. [ Reply | More

You should not be concerned about school yet!! 7 month olds are just beginning to crawl, sit in a swing, etc. Enjoy the present! Maybe think about a music class like Aardvarks for the socialization. Otherwise, parks and playgrounds and music and balls and maybe some board books are the best thing right now. Tell him you have 2-3 years before needing to think about preschool. [ Reply | More

You only need to 'worry' about it the year before you want them to start. [ Reply | More

tell DH that you will work on this TOGETHER when the time comes. Sounds like he's trying to saddle you with 100% responsibility for this way in advance, when both parents should be involved and sharing responsibility. It is a lot of work, and even if it were simple, both parents should be involved. [ Reply | More

There's nothing you or your dh can do until next year, so tell him to stop freaking out. Enjoy this year, and then next summer, get the Victoria Goldman book about NY preschools, figure out which schools you want to apply to and then apply. I knew someone like this - her DH wanted her to try to start making connections at the various preschools even when her db was a baby. ICK. Totally useless also, by the way, since the only connections that matter are the ones you already have. [ Reply | More
