I would like to know if preschool is mandatory. I'm trying to find out before my son has to start. I live in Arkansas and I don't really want to send him to preschool but if I absolutely have to I will. I'd like to know ahead of time.

Hi LaTricia,
In some parts of Arkansas it is mandatory. They started to implement that program in 2002. I do not know where you live in Arkansas So, my advice to you would be to call the School District in which you son would be starting school in. The District Office can let you know if their District is on mandatory preschool or not. Preschool can be very beneficial to most children. It gives them a leg up for first grade. Studies have shown that in general children that have attended a preschool have an easier time when they start first grade. Best to you!
