Well, I’m from Mexico and here all public and private schools wear uniforms until highschool, kindergarten begins at 3.

Never heard of these people.

I just love the picture of little Leonor giving her Dad a kiss while Mom proudly looks on. Priceless. This little girl is a dynamo. I wish we can also see her sister Sofia.

I don’t think at Leonor’s age, “school” means reading, writing, and doing Math. So it’s not too early for her to start, I think at the most she plays and socializes with the other children.

It is not too early Zub to enroll a child in school or daycare. I work in CA’s school system and was part of it. Your child should be reading the entire or at least half of the abc’s by now. Young children need to socialize and learn to get along with others and that is what will happen to the FUTURE QUEEN OF SPAIN, Princess Leonor. She needs to socialize with her people, and what better way than to go to school. Princess Leonor is beautiful, she looks so much like her father when he was a young boy.

I started pre-school at 3 her in the US – and wore a uniform too. didn’t realize it was that uncommon. I plan to do the same for my own children, because I really loved it!

BTW, regarding the uniform, little Leonor is wearing one because she goes to a private school, but Spanish public schools don’t have uniforms.
However, in order to prevent undesirable stains on their regular clothes, preschool kids use to wear an overall like this one: http://www.milnenos.es/Documentos/Mandilon-peque.gif

I can agree with zub when she says kids grow up so fast and they’re so young to be at school at 3. BUT, Zub, the thing you have to remember is that they’re only at school for probably 6 to 8 hours a week at the MOST. The rest of the time they’re at home resting, playing, learning from mom and dad, doing what they want, being a kid, etc…

Like so many others have said this little girl (and royal family) are gorgeous.

For some reason Leonor’s personality, and looks, remind me of a young Shirley Temple!

I live in the US and I started preschool just before I turned 3 (September birthday). I had 2 years of pre-school before kindergarten and I really liked it, actually. Before kindergarten they only kept us for a half-day, though. I never found it too structured…a lot of kids have nursery school or pre-school at 3. I think it’s a nice adjustment into grade school.

I wonder if they have any difficulty with kids that young wearing uniforms? That’s definitely the age where I could still see kids throwing a tantrum over their outfit!

Has anyone noticed how nearly every discussion accompanying photos is of something totally unrelated to the pictures.

Halle Berry’s baby should wear a sunhat.

Marcia Cross’ twins should have a double buggy.

This child shouldn’t be in school so young.
