[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the transition would be too much to go back to the other preschool or to a different one.  I think your objective reasons, commute time and cost, are enough to make a decision.

The decision by the current preschool to keep her in the 2s class is probably sensible, especially considering if her birthday is before or after the cutoff for K -- she's going to be the youngest or the oldest, and better to repeat a 2s year than a 4s year, IMO.  I don't know about using scissors, I wouldn't expect a 2 year old or 3 year old to use them proficiently, although some 3 year olds can.  And working out the kinks of a brand new school, getting the teachers settled, the board settled, etc., I wouldn't be surprised by some behind-the-scenes drama, but that wouldn't put me off the school if I liked it, otherwise.

I think deciding to go or stay is fine, but I think you may need to adjust your expectations for preschool and for your daughter.  [/quote]

All of those reasons are reasonable - and frankly if it were a larger school with more kids I wouldn't worry at all about the developmental thing because there would at least be some kids who would be close to her development-wise.  It just so happens that there aren't here... and I don't want to pay too much and drive too far for something that's just ok.

To be clear about the scissors it wasn't that she didn't know how to use them, it was just their best example of "she gets more frustrated with the older kid activities."  [/quote]
