First of all, Preschool usually means a preschool for 3 and 4 year olds that starts a new class every fall. These preschools do not accept children who are younger than 3 (or about to turn 3.) The idea is that children attend a preschool for one or two years just prior to starting kindergarten. Preschools typically accept applications in the spring for kids who will start preschool in the fall.

Social skills that are necessary for preschool include sharing, taking turns, playing with peers, and participating in pretend play.

Before selecting a preschool, ask about the potty training policy. If independent toileting is required, carefully consider if your child is developmentally ready to be potty trained. If she's not, don't force it. But if your child is able to keep her diaper dry for an hour, then she's likely ready to begin training.

Many children leave Mom or Dad for the first time to go to preschool and they do just fine. The trick is to help your child adjust in short doses. Many preschools will allow you to drop off your child for an hour or two during his first few days there.

Last updated: August 2016. Most preschools will start accepting children at around age 2 ½, but that doesn't mean your child is magically ready for preschool when he reaches that age. Readiness for preschool has more to do with where your child is developmentally.
