I think you should start teaching your child from the day he/she is born. It is believed that children learn the most in the first 5 years of their life. I am all for pre-school. Not only does it educate the child early, it also allows the child to interact with other kids.

A learning disability affects a person's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. Its hard to say what causes these learning disabilities. It could be neurological damage, premature birth or many other things. Learning disabilities do tend to run in families, so some learning disabilities may be inherited. Nobody really knows.

How young is the pre-school? We've been having this debate in Britain of late. Some parents seem to have the kids out of the house as soon as the kids are born Big Grin Four years old is young enough, methinks. Up to that age mother is best and the children are hardly ready for social interaction.
As to formal education there is quite a divide between French, 'continental' , thinking and British thought. Our youngster was taught under the French system and we were alarmed when she could not read fluently at six. The teachers were surprised. One said " But we teach all of them to swim at four. She can swim like a fish. Swimming is much important than reading at her age ! Swimming can save her life ! " She did of course learn to read fluently. Her manners were strangely and impeccably French and formal too . Different cultures, different thinking.
(They didn't think much of a father's supposed influence either. When she was to go there the head teacher interviewed her mother. When mother innocently asked whether they wouldn't like to see father too she got the reply : "Whatever for? The child doesn't know it has a father until it's at least seven !" )
