[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's preschool has 2 classrooms for each age--older and younger 2s, 3s, and 4s.  They treat the 4s as sort of a younger pre-k and older pre-k.  In the older pre-K are kids who technically could have gone to K this year (like summer birthdays and early fall birthdays) as well as older 4s so, say, birthdays from summer 2008 to spring 2009.  In the younger pre-K, where my child is, are the kids with birthdays from late spring 2009 to winter 2010.  My child's birthday is in January, and he is the second youngest in the class.  He obviously will have 1 more year before he goes to K.  Half of his class will go to K next fall (or is at least eligible for K next fall), and the other half will move to the older pre-K next year.  I find it a little confusing as my older son's different preschool was not set up this way, but it's been fine.  My child is basically getting 2 years of pre-K, whereas in a different school he would be in the 3s room. [/quote]

Great info. Yes, those kids would be in 3s at other schools because they weren't 4 by 9/1. [/quote]
