[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3.5 year old who started a Montessori preschool program when she was almost 2. She was excited to start at the time (wanted to be like her big brother and go to school), but eventually started crying at dropoff pretty much every morning.  In the two years since then, she has cried a significant amount of the time at dropoff, though teachers tell me she is usually fine shortly thereafter.  She has one special friend at the school, but that friendship sometimes causes disruptions in class and the school wants to separate the two girls.  I decided to try her in a different school/"camp" this summer to see if the Montessori environment was part of the problem.  She did fine when dropped off at a local camp with her brother (they are not in the same age group so saw each other only at dropoff and lunch), but has now spent almost 4 weeks at a different center, which is basically a daycare/preschool with a "camp" option that I was hoping she would like and could stay at through the fall/next school year (my son is too old to go to this camp).  Once again, she is crying/screaming every day.  If I didn't work, I would simply keep her home at this point despite her age/needing some pre-k prep.  But I do work, albeit part time.    Do some kids just not handle school well until they are older?  Is this a sign of some larger mental health/insecurity issues?  I'm so so so tired of the screaming in the morning, for her sake and for mine.  Any thoughts.  I'm about to resign because a 3 year old hates preschool.  [/quote]
