Am I the only one? My DS1 started Montessori nursery school last Sept shortly after turning three years old. Three afternoon sessions a week. I'm a SAHP but had a little separation from him when I managed to cobble together enough cash for a mother's help when DS2 arrived 15 months ago. Nearly every time i've dropped DS1 off at nursery he cries, screams, clings etc, and really doesn't want to be there, making me wonder if it's all worth it. Everyone I speak to says I should increase his sessions to get him used to it so that when he starts at reception this Sept he's ready. Surely reception is to get children ready for school? Why do we have to start them so early, when in a few months they will have a bit more maturity to deal with the separation. Does anyone else question the benefits of pre-school?
