[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Wow, I had no idea people would be so mean in response to a pretty straightforward question. Guess I shouldn't underestimate the cattiness of anonymous parents on the internet. Tearing down strangers asking for help on the internet seems an odd pastime, but do whatever makes you happy, I guess.

Semantics aside, he is getting almost a full extra year before starting K, despite the fact that he will be pretty close to ready next September.  So, I am just trying to make the best of that extra year.

His daycare director told us she believes he would thrive in a more challenging environment with older kids, and that their curriculum is not meant for kids to essentially repeat.  He has been in this same pre-K class since before he was 4, so he would end up spending 2+ years in the same classroom with the same curriculum (and yes, with naps, which he won't need) and with much younger kids.  If the person with a master's in early childhood education wants to turn away our money because she believes our kid will be under-stimulated at her school, I am inclined to take her word for it. I don't just "think he's too smart for his current school."  Good lord.

Thanks for those of you who have actually taken the time to answer the question! [/quote]
