Question by Breekie: Where can I find free clip art of preschool/kindergarten children?
Does anyone know a good website where I can find free clip art of children doing things at centers, such as coloring, science center, circle time, letter writing, books, etc. I use yahoo images sometimes but they don't often have children doing center activities. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by leslie b
Try google. Type in a search for free clip art children learning. Then click at the top on images. You'll get a lot of different kinds of pictures. You can also try searching google images for children coloring, children writing, children reading, etc. like this one: http://www.learningbreakthrough.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/children_reading.jpg I use google images a lot for this kind of stuff and I'm never disappointed, always find something I can use! You can usually just copy and paste the image either from the search page or from the actual link like the one I posted above. Email if you have any questions about it.

Question by Fariha M: What age should children start kindergarten?
My school district sets a strict cut-off for starting KG & grade 1. The child in question must be 5 on Sept 1 of that school year to start KG and 6 to start grade 1. If your child turns 5 on Sept 2, you must wait a year. That leaves nearly 6-year olds starting kindergarten (which I think is shameful.) My son was born in October, and falls into this category. Are there any ways around this?

Question by mindy: Does anyone know where to get information on preschools and activities for children?
My son is two and a half and I would like to give him a chance to make friends or at least have more social interactions with kids his age. He always loves playing with other kids at the park and such but other than that he has no other kids to play with. I don't know if I should join a mommy and me class, start him in preschool or what. Does anyone know of a good place to get information on Preschools or other activities? I am Looking for somewhere in the Morgantown, WV area.

Best answer:

Answer by TXChristDem
Some cities have magazines that list all kinds of activities and preschools. Otherwise, look for MOPS or MOMS groups, ask your friends, join a church, go to library story times, hang out at a local park playscape. You will meet other moms and kids that way.
