I guess that says a lot of what I think about preschools yah. haha. But then I'm not working so I like having them at home with me just loitering around the house. :P I think age 5 is a good starting age.

Amy, I also have that same concern about how easily a child will fall sick when he/she starts attending school and mixing with lots of other children! But I guess this is something we can't avoid... Rae, some pre-schools can be fun and there are absolutely no homework involved. That's the kind I envision to be a great place for a young kid to learn and play and have lots of fun! :) Ai-Ling, I must learn something from you then! :D And thanks for the link up!

Kids nowadays started the pre-school thingy way too early and they've miss out all the fun of being an ACTUAL kiddo at their tender age. All they ever know now is to attend class and adhere to instructions like a robot. My ideal age will be around 5 yrs old.
