My dd is three, just turned four, and thanks to her awesome preschool she can write her own name and is very close to reading. Don't think it would have happened without this school or in a place we just considered holding. I think you'lll regret it, especially if you don't get off the wait list and end up in the church basement.

Hate to burst your bubble, but your 3 year old is at the same level as most 3 year olds. Writing her name and pre-reading is standard at most preschools, charters, and good public schools. I have my daughter in private preschool as well, and I have friends and neighbors that do not. They are all pretty much on the same level. We toured the Big 3 schools, and the curricium was no more rigorous than my current private which is about $15000 less. There are many reasons to choose private, but the academics may not be stronger than good publics and charters. My 3 year old is doing addition, but that has a lot to do with working with her at home. We will be applying at WIS for K next year because of the language immersion.
