    Erh I dunno for the other parents but here children go to school as of 2.5 yo. Technically we could have him at the daycare until 3 but he was already bored to death so we chose to move him to school. At 2.5 yo he wasn’t done with it. Nowadays at about 3 he’s good for the day. Nights not yet.

    How would you approach this? Let your kid bore himself? Also when one becomes a teacher for such small kids they expect this… until they are about 4 it’s not exceptional. They have additional personnel helping them even.

    They also still do nap times… is that also unfair to the teachers?

      That’s not actual school with certified educators. You’re talking about daycare and preschool. They deal with diapers and basic motor skills. If it was school there would be state standards with regular testing.

          Wikipedia says that Belgium provides a free pre-school from the age of 2.5 years and pre-school is mandatory at the age of 5 years.

          This is what pre-school looks like:

          There are no formal lessons or assessments, and everything is taught through a framework of play.

          Feel free to correct me, I‘m not from Belgium.
