DS is almost 2 and I am not sending him to any nursery school.
Same for me, she's going to school at 3.
Plenty of years of school ahead of her.
I'd try to do some free classes, playgroups or story time for interaction
well said. I agree w/ this.

Re: 2 year olds and nursery school?(am i a bad mommy?)
I started my DD at 2yr.4mths. and now at 4 she is still in love with school. She has always been social and loves to learn so it wasn't an issue for us.

my friends is sending her dd to nursery school in the fall( her dd will be 3) but she said there are programs there for 2 yr olds.
my dd will be 2 in july..is 2 too young to send? i feel like a bad mom for wanting to put her in something..my dd is so outgoing and i think she would just love to interact with other kids..i was even thinking of dance or something..
what is everyones thoughts on this? i need some honest input..i dont know much about this stuff. thanks
OR
is there something else i could do with her? i also have a 4 month old at home.
Um, no. Unless those of us who send our kids to day care are bad moms too.
I don't think the OP was saying this at all!
I know where she is coming from because when you are a SAHM from the beginning, and your child is used to only you for a length of time (2 years), putting them at that age into a program can be unnerving.
It is the same feeling ANY mom has when they start a program (whether at 6 weeks or 5 years old) BUT in this situation the child is aware of surroundings, sep. anxiety and all that comes with an alert 2 year old, that's all. When an small infant starts daycare the transition is usually easier.
I myself am thinking of putting johnny in a PT program bc I think it'll be great for him to experience but I have my reservations as well. I know he has bad sep. anxiety right now, but I also know it doesn't make me a bad mom to want him to experience it.

Oh, don't get me wrong-I don't think that is what OP was trying to say. I was just trying to help her put it in perspective. If I think it's okay for me to send my 8 month old, then I definitely think it is ok for a 2 year old. However, I didn't even take into account the fact that it is a bigger transition for a 2 year old. Now, I don't know. Maybe start even earlier just to avoid that?

Re: 2 year olds and nursery school?(am i a bad mommy?)
You are not a bad mom. I am a SAHM and do some babysitting for one other baby.
I am thinking of enrolling DS in a local school in our town that starts taking kids at 18 months. It's a few times a week a couple hours a day.
DS has become "clingy" and I want him to experience being around other children (other than just the one I sit for) and I want him to get used to a "classroom setting".
If September doesn't work, I'll do Jan. just around his 2nd Bday.

Nope, not a bad mommy. I did not start my son until he was 3, and I am doing the same for my DD. I want her home with me as long as possible - she's learning from me and that's important.

Re: 2 year olds and nursery school?(am i a bad mommy?)
Hayley loves her nursery school!!!!!!!!!!!!! She goes 2 days a week for 3 hours. Can I tell you how much she has learned? I honestly don't think I would have been able to teach her as much at home. She knows her colors, shapes, counts to 10, know her ABC song, sings all different kiddie songs.
In September is going back to the same school and will be in 3 days a week for 3 hours a day.
we are actually ready to leave for school now
