[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how other preschools do things (and I am speaking of preschools, not daycare centers), but the one I work at will not move a 2 year old to a 3 year old class during the school year just because they had a birthday.  The child must be the age of the class by the cutoff date (for example, they must be 3 by September 1 in order to be in the 3-year-old class for the school year, or 4 by September 1 in order to be in a pre-K class).  This method keeps them in line with the kindergarten age cutoff.  [/quote]

Do they ever accept new kids halfway through the year?  I have seen a couple of postings about spots coming open at local preschools, but I don't want to rely on that happening as a general rule if it's rare.[/quote]

PP here.  Absolutely, new students are accepted whenever an opening becomes available.  Usually, however, we don't take anyone new after the beginning of March, because at that point there are only a few months of school left and the child wouldn't have much time to get accustomed to things before school ends.
