So sort of?</p> <p>I do remember feeling really sorry for the boy next to me in kindergarten who didn't know how to write his name. But it wasn't common at all for kids to go to preschool where I grew up (it's rather rural) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522648 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:21:56 +0000 shinymama 1522648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My siblings and I did not go to daycare - a relative watched us while my parents worked. I was the only one of my siblings that attended preschool.</p> <p>I think preschool wasn't as common then {early 80s} and my mom became aware of it when she enrolled my brother in Kindergarten because it was affiliated with our local elementary school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522645 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:21:32 +0000 heartonastring 1522645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a nanny from six months old when my mum went back to work. When I was 3 I started half-days in Montessori and then still had my nanny in the afternoons. Started full days in Montessori when I was 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522639 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:19:40 +0000 HabesBabe 1522639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to preschool when I was 4 and it was at the local elementary school (it was actually a class that the public school district set up). I think I went 8a-12p, 5 days a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522508 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:41:26 +0000 mrskc 1522508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, my mom had to go back to work when I was 6 weeks and I was in an in home daycare then went to a center when I started Kindergarten and was at a center until maybe 5th grade? Then she let my brother and I walk ourselves to and from school and be home alone until she got home from work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522502 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:40:54 +0000 plantains 1522502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to nursery school, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522495 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:39:27 +0000 BoogieBea 1522495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My mom worked at home and apparently she can handle a lot more than I can. I work at home now but the kids go to daycare/preschool. It probably would've benefited my sister and I though. We both went to kindergarten not knowing any english since my mom doesn't speak it. We all caught up though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522492 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:38:38 +0000 fancyfunction 1522492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to pre-school at ages 3 and 4 at my local library. It was p/t, maybe a few days a week/few hours a day. My mom is still great friends with a few other moms she met there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522483 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:36:24 +0000 Anagram 1522483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents owned a pre-school, and I went to it. Best of both worlds! Social interaction, learning things, and seeing my mom all day, too! (She wasn't my teacher, but as the director I saw her a lot). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522469 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:33:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1522469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we went to an inhome until we started school and then went to an after school daycare until we were old enough to stay home. I went to preschool 3 times a week at a local church the year before I started kindergarden. I still remember our prayer before snack time ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522462 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:31:35 +0000 Caly 1522462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my mom was a stay at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522455 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:29:40 +0000 HellOnHeels 1522455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to daycare a couple days a week the year before I went to kindergarten to meet and get to know some of my future classmates and get used to leaving home for a period of time... But probably more to get me out of my mum's hair, lol. My mum was a SAHM. I loved it, but I was never one to just stay at home anyway; was always at either of my grandparents or at an aunts. </p> <p>She tried the same thing with my brother, but he HATED it. I think he went twice before she said "fuck it" and hoped for the best when he went to kindergarten lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522441 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:26:05 +0000 nana87 1522441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents both worked so I was in some more informal babysitter and in-home care arrangements when I was very young (don't know exactly when my mom went back to work...), but starting around 2 I went to a center. We moved when I was 3.5, so starting then I was at the same center until elementary school, and spent afternoons there during kindergarten as well--the same center did pickups at the school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522412 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:15:33 +0000 littlebug 1522412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in daycare from the time I was 7 weeks old until 11 years old. Preschool at 4, kindergarten at 5, but still at daycare when I wasn't in school.</p> <p>ETA: Daycare from 7 weeks till 6 was in-home. Then we moved and had to find new daycare. W went to a center for 3 weeks and it was terrible. Luckily my mom found a new in-home and it was fabulous. We stayed there till I was 11 (sister was 7) and the provider quit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522411 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:15:31 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1522411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes in home day care, then nursery school and preschool.

Then she became a manager and I know I did go to a preschool for a long time (I still remember the name and what the classroom and yard looked like). I remember hating being the last one picked up. It wasn't everyday, but if it happened it made me feel awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-go-to-daycarepreschool#post-1522246 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:30:55 +0000 pui 1522246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a preschool before kindergarten.
