best age to send child to daycare
answers (10) Kimmieapples. I think most programs start at age 3. The daycare my daughter goes to they start a curiculum once they move up to the one-year-old room, but the real pre-school part doesn't start until they are 2 1/2-3 years old. I only went to preschool for one year, when I was four...which I think was pretty standard in this area in the late 80's.
