I was talking with a friend who is a preschool teacher and she really believes in the benefits. I know she scored as gifted as a child and her daughter seems to be advanced, too. My friend says her daughter loves preschool. Her DD has been going since she was a toddler.

My initial reaction was "No way! DD is too young!" but she wore me down. DH had the same reaction. He said he doesn't want to send his baby away from him. DD is only 14 months old and still breastfeeds a lot. But I'm concerned because we don't see other kids often enough. Our play groups meet 40-45 minutes away and DD still mostly hates the car seat. I should probably work on hanging out with the neighbors more...

So thoughts on preschool for socializing?
