[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're sending ours to public PreK and not worrying about it too much at this point, especially since there is still so much social stuff going on at this age, along with the whole adjusting to a large school setting.

It is also helpful to remember that very few decisions we make are truly irreparable, so it is helpful to focus on today's problems today without getting too far ahead.  Is there a decent chance your kid will in fact be bored in school? Of course.  But at worst that means finishing out a year and then making alternate plans. [/quote]

OP here.  They have an accredited Kindergarten at his daycare too. It's not huge, so at the end of the day they all play together. The older kids are bonding with him over legos and star wars and transformers. My DH buys him toys way above his age range, but he loves them. Nothing like reading 'The Lego Star Wars Encyclopedia' for a bedtime book. (I still hate my parents for getting him that!)

I thought pre-K programs were mainly for low-income - like the Head Start sort of thing they have in DC. Or does it depend on the area?
