[quote=Anonymous]PP and OP, a fidgety pre-kindergarten boy who needs a lot of room to burn some energy may not be an ADHD kid yet, or may not be one at all.  It is pretty early to establish that at such a young age and most practitioners will not do so until much later on when school becomes a real part of the equation.  So there is no reason to worry about a label either way with a boy so young.  At this point, you look for a fit with the child's and the family's personality and most likely the school will raise any concern it may have with attention later on in the child's career there if it should come to that.  Most of the private schools in our area are well-acquainted with both the sight and sound of ADHD nowadays and are more than capable of working with the concern should it be raised later on.  The biggest issue should be finding a school that doesn't shun the active student or make them feel "bad."  OP is on the right track to seek schools that have daily movement and/or active time slots worked into their days for all children, it actually helps all kids to focus better when they do have to sit at their desks and learn.
