I would keep your son in his preschool setting and request a conference with his teacher(s) to share the findings and the suggested strategies for drawing him more into the group.  From your family perspective try and encourage play dates with other kids on the weekends and over school breaks.  Is there a sport he might enjoy trying out with Dad on the weekend such as kiddie t-ball or soccer or going to gym class?

Also, you might consider staying in touch with a developmental as opposed to your local pediatrician to perhaps in a year help you make the decision about whether another year in a preschool setting might be of benefit to him.  In this case, you might want to consider then shifting to the local DCPS school he might be attending with the clear goal of continuing to bring his skills in line across all the domains.  Again, I do not know his age, size - but in general I would always encourage parents of a boy with any kind of developmental delay to spend an extra year in the early years.  Why - because schools are just such a "push" now and in so many ways geared to the educational style of "girls" with sitting for long periods and quiet seat work.  And even typical boys are just usually socially behind the girls.....[/quote]
