Pre-schooler AJ

I want pre-school hunting yesterday.

AJ is only 3 years old, 3 1/2 by June. My husband and I thinks that she can already go to toddler school since most of the schools now accepts children that will be turning 4 years old by December. Although excited as I am about the thought of AJ going to school, I do have a few misgivings about this. First, is AJ ready to go to school? As in "ready" in a sense na will she be able to cope up with the environment? Will she be able to keep up? Maybe she can - she's a little too mature for her age but she's a little girl nonetheless. She already knows her ABC's, colors (although may sablay paminsan-minsan), she can count 1 to 10 - both english and tagalog version. She even bosses her playmates around (and amazingly her playmates whould let her boss them - I don't actually understand why)

But on the other hand - she's still a baby. And just like any other kid, she really finds it hard to stay in one place and behave properly. She keeps on exploring and she is inquisitive yet she can so easily be distracted and shift her attention to other things that would catch her interest.

Luckily, I found this school in Baclaran. Where the kids are required to have an entrance examination - more on an assessment for the child (like hand-eye coordination etc), the teachers will assess if the child is ready for school first before they accept them as students.

I could do with that, This is what I need the most - a professional institution that will help me discern whether my child is ready for school or not.
