[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would really bother me. I don't know that there's a solution, and I don't know what I would do, so I don't know how helpful I am (sorry!) but as a parent of a late summer kid who also started school on time (though in DC where everybody does) I can see how this would have been a real disadvantage.

It's clear the daycare leaders also know it's a problem, which is why they gave you a heads up, but their solution kinda sucks.

Is there something to suggesting that they just mix it up? If there is (for sake of argument) essentially 20 kids who should be in the 4s class (including your daughter) and 16 that should be in the 3s class, and they're holding two kids back so that there is 18 in each, could they instead just mix everybody up and do two classes that are a true mix of 3s and 4s? Lots of schools do that anyway.

Anyway, just solidarity in your angst. [/quote]

Oh sorry PP here, I just realized I was off and she's being held out of essentially the 3s classroom this year.

Yeah, I'd be looking for another preschool. And I'd let your current center know (nicely, and with understanding!) that you're looking because you want her in preschool and not daycare since she's starting on time. You'll either find another school or they'll figure out a different solution. But I'd want two years of true preschool before K, especially for a younger K kid who seems ready for preschool now.
