[quote=Anonymous]A key point is that generally when kids miss days in PK, it doesn't matter at all for the "curriculum". It's PK, so they are just doing supervised play with some reading/math lessons scattered in, plus stuff like morning circle, read alongs, etc. It's totally different than even a 1st grader missing 4 days, where the child might actually miss some instruction that is important for them to build on in the coming weeks. PK almost never has anything like that. The kids are all at different levels with regards to numbers and letters, so missing a random week won't have any impact and unless the school or teacher is unusually strict, they are very unlikely to care.

BUT you might want to check in with the teacher early in the year just to see if there is some issue with missing those days. PK kids do have some mandatory stuff that can be a pain to make up, stuff like benchmarking assessments. I would try really hard not to pull your kid out when something like that is going on because they will give you a hard time about it. But I don't recall any of that stuff happening in December so you're probably fine. I'd still check, though, just to avoid any issues. If there is something like that going on and you give the teacher enough warning, she might be able to do your kids assessment early or something.[/quote]
