[quote=Anonymous]My 4YO DS currently attends a play-based nature outdoor preschool and LOVES it. They are outside 100% of the time (unless it's too dangerous to be outside) so they don't do any "formal" school things (like learning how to write or hold a pencil) but I have no doubt he's learning (they read books, sing songs, he's using gross and fine motor skills). He's turning 5 in September and we have made the decision to enroll him in another year of preschool instead of sending him to K (he's not ready and I'm worried the K class will be HUGE next year with all the kids who were redshirted this year) and debating if we should keep him enrolled in his current school or find a more formal school-like program. This year was his first experience at school, he has always been cared for by a nanny and was a very anxious baby/toddler who took forever to potty train so we didn't enroll him anywhere.

I do think he could use a bit of extra help, he's nowhere near where my 6YO DS was at that age (who attended a more formal preschool in our last town) and started K virtually this year and has done great. But at the same time, does he NEED that? DH thinks we should find a new preschool but I'm not so sure.

Would love any opinions! [/quote]
