[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the child and what else you are doing. Some kids (though not all) do start to need some socialization at that age. It can really help with developmental stuff, and ease the transition to PK when she is the right age for PK3 in public.

But this might not be your kid, especially with a sibling so close in age. I would look at how she is around other kids her same age, and also how she does with organized activities like story time or a kid's dance class. If she enjoys that stuff and has no issues with being around other kids in those settings (and you keep taking her to those settings until PK3) I would say you could skip PK next year.

But if she struggles or doesn't seem to like being around other kids, or is very shy, then she could benefit a lot from a part-time PK program. My DD was like this at the same age and we sent her to a 2-day a week co-op. It helped so much for her to see the same kids each week and get used to that routine, and made transition to PK so easy. But she is an only, so we really felt like she needed that exposure to other kids.[/quote]
