Judy,
The answer to that is different for every child. All children develop at different speeds and have different needs. If you're the mom, you know your child best. No one can answer that for you.
But BEFORE your child goes to Kindergarten, you need to make sure he/she is ready. Your child needs to have listening skills down, have conquered separation anxiety, spell his or her name, and needs to be able to get along with other groups of children. If you can accomplish those things for your child without sending him or her to pre-K, then GOOD FOR YOU! But if you can't, I'd suggest getting him by age 4, even if only for 3 days a week to get him/her started on what he/she will need to be successful in life.

I am a prek teacher for at risk students. We do take 3 yr olds. but ours are ones that need some kind of intervention or have certain risk factors. Ours go 5 days a week for 2hrs and 45 minutes. Our kindergartens are full day and our students sometimes need two years of preschool to be ready for Kdg. Our kdg's are also very structured and demanding not very developmentally appropriate, so we do try to get as much knowledge in our program and still be developmentally appropriate. I do think preschool is good for all children just so they learn how to interact with other children their age and be able to share toys and learn to sit in a group and listen to stories.

What do you think of a 2 year 9 month old child going to preschool from 9 till 4:30 - 5 days a week? This is NOT a child care facility. It is a nursery school.
