[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you did your kid a disservice by placing him in such an academically rigorous program as a toddler. You say you want to do what is best but evidence shows play based learning is best for young kids. To answer you original question. The absolute only way you will find out is calling the principal and even if they say ok, you have to count on principals not changing before your kid actually starts at that school. You could always just private forever though. [/quote]

I am not sure why you say that. The purpose of preschools isn't to carve children into whatever mold FCPS has issued; it's to provide an appropriately structured engagement that helps children learn and grow.  The fact that he learned lots of things at preschool doesn't mean he learned it while chained to his desk.  They do maybe an hour of "academics" a day - the rest of the day is all play during which they learn lots of things. [/quote]

An hour of traditional academics a day is an awful large chunk of a typical preschool day. Most preschools run 3 or 4 hours long. [/quote]
