When should children start preschool?
There is no single right answer for every family — but there are signs that show your child is ready for school.
This question comes up a lot as toddlers grow more active and curious. The truth is, there is no single 'right' age for every child.
Look for these signs instead: your child can sit steadily and feed themselves, they begin to play next to peers (parallel play), they understand a few simple rules, and they can be away from you for short periods without too much distress.
Kindyland accepts children from 18 months. At this age, our focus is emotional safety, gentle adjustment, and gross motor development.
What matters more than the exact age is the transition. A one-week orientation, flexible drop-off and pickup times help children settle in far better than dropping them in for full days from day one.
