[quote=Anonymous]I've been touring a lot of Pre-Ks for my 3.5 year old for next fall. They vary drastically. Some have arts, some teach in Spanish, some are 100% outdoor play, some focus mostly on reading and math (??!). Some have little desks just like an elementary school classroom and some have no desks and tables only for art. I'm having trouble figuring out what my child needs. I've read a lot that early academics are not beneficial. My DD already reads a bit (sounds out words, knows letters/numbers) but I don't want to push it at all and don't see that as a positive. She's very smart, but a bit of a people pleaser. We'd like her to gain confidence and enjoy playing with kids her own age. She's with a nanny now and her 2 younger siblings.

Is anyone up on early child development and can tell me what I should be looking for? I'm specifically not looking for a daycare because we have the nanny and she'll drive her (although I do wish they started at 8am so I could drop her off on my way to work, but every single one starts at 9 am).
