[quote=Anonymous]He will be fine. I taught at a play based preschool and play-based doesn't mean zero teaching, it means making the learning fun and meaningful to the child. The students that I taught still learned their letters and numbers and colors and shapes, but they did it with play doh and wiki stix instead of worksheets and drills. They spent time outside observing animals and discussing habitats. They learned how to take turns and share and negotiate play and sit for story time and open their lunch containers and put on their own coat and shoes and pull their pants up and down--things that many Kindergarten teachers care more than if they come in reading CVC words. If it's a caring place that your child feels safe, it will go well. Your job now is to not stress about the transition, kids pick up on parental stress.[/quote]
