[quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]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[/b]."  [/quote]

Don't push her.  Find her another 2s class in another preschool that's cheaper and closer.  [/quote]
