[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS is very shy but advanced verbally and super smart for his age. His daycare is great, loving, and he's used to all the people there, but he's not learning new things. For example, when I get his little report card, it talks about how they're working on knowing the first letter of their name, but he already knows how to spell.

Should I be moving him to a place that will challenge him more or keep him for comfort? He's fairly shy so I don't want to disrupt things too much. Also, his card always says he "content" but he's not jumping around happy like he is at home or with his cousins.

I'm a FTM and really just want to do what's best for him but I have no idea what that is. Any insight much appreciated![/quote]

Would highly suggest putting you advanced child in a NAEYC accredited preschool.  I would ensure that they have a curriculum, while play based, doesn't mean they just "play all day" but that they are engaged.  If the preschool cannot demonstrate it has a true curriculum, you are at a daycare, not a preschool.  And before anyone decides to say "A NAEYC accredited preschool doesn't mean they are of a higher caliber" please go to the NEAYC site and look at the difficulty for a preschool to get accredited.  It's not just about money for the accreditation, it's about being able to prove you have a high quality preschool program over many facets of programming- highly accredited staff, high quality curriculum, a lot of engagement of staff with students and parents, etc..

As a parent that also wanted the best for my children, that is the direction I went and it has served them tremendously in elementary school.  [/quote]
