Are you thinking of skipping preschool and teach your children basic skills yourself? Then you are part part of today’s growing trend.

A knol by Terrie Lynn Bittner on home preschooling explores on home preschooling possibilities and methods for parents to teach preschool in the home.

Although considered essential, if not a must, today, some parents consider sending their children to preschool as ineffective and unnecessary. The premise is that preschools teach skills that can be learned at home more effectively, as the basic skills are taught for many generations.

In my opinion, home preschooling is better. I agree the being close to parents in a child preschool age is more important than learning ‘being away from parents’.

Some would worry about the inability to socialise in home preschooling, but since there are organisations supporting families that doing home preschooling, gatherings and events are being held regularly.
