Some parents send their children to pre-school when they are three to four years old. Other parents wait until their children are old enough for primary school before they send them to school. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sending children to pre-school at a young age.

As many parents hope for extraordinary achievement and performance for their

children

in the future, early education is deemed to be a foundation of triumph. While others hold an opposite view. In

this

essay, both the advantages and disadvantages will be discussed and my opinion will be given.

To begin

with, it is beneficial for preschoolers to embark on educational learning as early as possible, in terms of cognitive development and interpersonal skills. It is evident that the best

age

of brain development is between three and five;

Therefore

, exposing

children

to a new environment with various activities and materials which could help stimulate their brains is extremely crucial at

this

golden

age

.

In addition

, sending toddlers to pre-school can not only help their interpersonal skills but

also

communication skills. As their will have numerous opportunities to interact with their peers and teachers. My niece,

for example

, who started her school life as early as two-year-old can communicate better with adults than My nephew who is the same

age

but has not yet started school.

On the other hand

, a group of people are holding opposite standpoints.

First

, for some

children

too early leaving their parents might lead to mental problems,

such

as separation anxiety. As forcing toddlers to integrate into an unfamiliar environment is serious pressure for them.

Second

, educational fees might be a huge financial burden for some families, like low-income households, who cannot afford it if their

children

do not get into public pre-school. In Taiwan,

for instance

, the availability of public kindergartens is limited;

hence

, the guardians have no choice but to send their young

children

to private schools, which are more expensive. In conclusion,

although

there are a few drawbacks of early education. I would argue that preschool education is vital for the present and the future of

children

and it cannot be postponed until they pass the golden

age

.
