Holis!
Quizás, al igual que yo, te preguntas cuál es la edad ideal para que tu peque comience el jardín infantil. La realidad es que esta es una pregunta que solo podemos responder de forma individual, en base por supuesto a nuestra situación familiar.
Me he dado la tarea de compartirte bases científicas que te ayuden a tomar esa decisión en este blog (iré agregando a medida que encuentre más). Por el momento, las fuentes que he buscado han sido en inglés. Sin embargo, espero que te sean de gran ayuda:
