[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t the majority of kids know nobody when they go to K? Or maybe one kid?[/quote] I think it depends on the neighborhood + preschool situation. If you're in a tight, full-of-kids neighborhood where many, most go to the same preschool and neighborhood public school, kids are likely to enter K knowing at least a handful of kids. If your neighborhood is low on kids, or a "bedroom community" and you commute from Fairfax to a downtown DC preschool, probably not. Or even if you're in DC and do the lottery and switch schools between PreK and K. We're in VA and most of the kids in my kid's preschool class are from the neighborhood. About 60% of my kid's preschool class went on to the same public, where most had 1-2 older siblings. Those kids already knew preschool friends + younger siblings of older siblings' friends. Some already knew teachers, staff, etc. [/quote]
