[quote=Anonymous]I'm a preschool teacher (of 3 and 4 year olds).

Please note that the benefits of preschool at age 2 and 3 are mainly socialization. Learning how to co-exist with other children in a structured environment. Learning how to be a part of a classroom and take orders from different adults. She is learning much more through dramatic play, music, and social interactions than learning her ABCs and numbers. And a lot of children your daughters age knows colors, shapes, letters, and numbers--this doesn't make her advanced (though she might be), it means her parents have been working on these things with her at home already. Please keep your child in an age-appropriate classroom.  If she comes into a 3's class she might be way behind in fine motor, gross motor and other skills. Toiling, opening her food packages, etc. If your child is bored it means that the school is not doing age-appropriate engaging activities and developing their range of exploration.

So in short, no. Don't jump the gun. Let her enjoy being 2.5 and playing and learning how to share and take turns and have fun! [/quote]
