How are your 3 year olds doing at home?

OP here. Thanks, it sounds like overall many 3s are thriving with a limited circle of social interaction. That’s great!

I’m not really worried about “academic” development as she is reading (short words) and can enumerate fine. It’s really more the socioemotional piece of learning how to work out conflicts or rejection, as well as the school behavior piece of coping in a situation where you don’t have individualized attention. We do work on some of that in family interactions but I think practice at school socializing with other kids and adults is obviously something that is hard to replicate.

Good news is - that’s the best preschool curriculum there is
