Thank you she's quite bright she picks things up really easy she knows colours and how to count to ten and she's potty trained even using toilet if there's 1 close she recognises abc but do they teach it different in schools (say it how it sounds?)

Does her school require that she be potty trained? That's the only thing I had to worry about. I got my son potty trained 2 weeks before nursery school started! Talk about cutting it close. We talked a lot about sharing with our friends, telling the teacher when there is a problem, and always listening to the teacher. Just prep her about going to school so it's not a surprise. Reassure her that you'll be there to pick her up and will see her soon. If she doesn't know it already then you can help her learn her ABC song and how to count to 10. Work on identifying her colors and shapes. She should be learning these things in school but it is always helpful when it is reinforced at home. good luck and best wishes!
