[quote=Anonymous]not necessary, but a pre-school or pre-K program, even just 3 half days a week, will help ease the transition for a lot (note: I didn't say all) kids. Pre-school is going to work on those non-academic skills that are so important to making entry into the kindergarten environment smooth. Waiting turns. Working with other. Sharing. Recognizing social cues. sitting still, in a chair or on the floor, for extended periods of time. I've seen kids make incredibly smooth transition to kindergarten without having gone to pre-school. And I've seen plenty of academically bright kids struggle with the full day school environment when kindergarten is their first exposure to the classroom. You have to make the right decision for your child; there's no universal "right" answer.[/quote]
