It is not a law that your child must attend a preschool program. Students are not required to be enrolled in school until kindergarten, or at age 5. In South Carolina, parents are allowed to exempt their child from kindergarten with reasonable excuse and paperwork. It is, however, an excellent opportunity for your child!
If a child is enrolled in a preschool program, it is very important that they attend the class regularly. A student misses out on valuable instruction if they are not present to learn. In the public system of Greenville County, an academic year does not count if a student has ten or more unexcused absences. The preschool program may have a different policy, but it is equally important for your child to be there.
I think that enrolling your child in a preschool program will have nothing but positive effects. The skills students learn in those early years lay the foundation for the rest of their education. The decision is yours!
