[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks all for validating that this is something worth discussing with the director. I was worried that we might seem overbearing if we raise the issue. I don’t know that it will ultimately change anything since numbers seem to have dictated this decision and DD is not even the oldest child who is being held back. I’ll feel better if we do what we can though.

Those pointing out that DD is not going to K next fall either way are right! I’d still prefer that she move up with her current class to the younger 3s preschool room. (She will be 3 for the entire school year.) DD is also very confident, social, and tall for her age. She seems so much older than the kids she has been grouped with for next year. I don’t think being one of the youngest in her current class has been a disadvantage at all.

One other factor contributing to our disappointment - other families we know at the school have not had the best experience with the “older 2s” class DD has been placed in. We’ve heard that it’s super unstructured. We weren’t too worried about it since we assumed DD would skip that classroom along with the rest of her current cohort. We will, of course, make the best of the situation if that’s where she ends up, but it’s not what we hoped for for multiple reasons.[/quote]
