[quote=Anonymous]Well.....  most DCPS preschools (both PK3 and PK4) are NOT playbased at all, which the research all shows is much better for children through 5 years of age (actually, our kindergartens should still be playbased but that's another story)

So, if your child's preschool is playbased then don't move and wait for kindergarten.

Of course, if you get into a charter school or DCPS that is outside your boundary and you want to stay there for kindergarten and beyond, then you  will need to leave and go there next year because otherwise you may not get into the charter/out of bounds school taht you want.  But if you don't get into one you want to stay in through kindergarten and your preschool is playbased then I think you should go.  No 3 year old NEEDS specials at this point - yes, for Kindergarten/First grade and beyond all that art, music, gym, etc is wonderful but at 3 years old, they should be using art materials and exploring and playing with music and sound daily, and will be outside daily - so that's gym - [/quote]
