[quote=Anonymous]DD is turning 2 mid-September, and I would really like to start her in a part-time preschool program (2 days a week, 2 hours a day, that sort of thing).  I am stymied by the combination of the age deadline (2 by September 1st) and the school-year format of preschools.  I would be open to starting her in January if there were a program that allowed that, so if you can recommend any in the College Park area I'd love to hear it.

Of course, if I wait until the next year DD can start in a 2s program, but then (of course) she'll be 3 in two weeks.  She could start in a mixed 2s/3s class if they exist, which may be what I fall back on.  I SAH and plan to continue, so it wouldn't be the end of the world, but I do think she'd really benefit from a few hours a week in a structured setting without me.

So, what did others of you in this situation do?  Down the line, of course, DD will be in the window to be eligible for "early" entry to kindergarten (if appropriate) but figuring out the pre-K timeline and options is giving me a headache![/quote]
