In India the prescribed minimum age for school is 4+ years.Before this the child can go to play school.Normally a good playschool takes the children only after 2 1/2 years of age.But I recommend only if :

• The child is 3+ years of age and if she is able to communicate verbally with others.
• She should be toilet trained to some extent.
• She should be comfortable during the school hours.
• She should express the desire to go to school.
