[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids’ preK-12th grade school required letters on behalf of my then 3 year old. I think this is very typical, PPs.

OP I would get a letter from the nanny as well. [/quote]
This is not very typical. I can only guess that the reason they want a "letter of recommendation" for a child is to ascertain the pedigree of the family. That's the only thing that makes sense here. What could a note like that possibly say? "Larlo is a great napper and can count to 20." "Larlo inherited his intellect from his father, who runs a successful consulting business serving Fortune 500 companies."[/quote]

Ha. This sums it up. I would be more concerned about whether my spouse and I are sufficiently interesting and impressive enough. [/quote]

People who send their kids to these kinds of ultra-posh highly selective preschools have more complaints about them than people who send their kids to whatever run-of-the-mill preschool or daycare fits their budget and commute. You'll pay 4-5 times more for the privilege of having Larlo rub elbows with the who's-who of toddlers, and the school will lead you to believe they have 4 yos reading War and Peace, but every time Larlo puts a pea up his nose or says the word 'fart' a hundred times a row in the car, you'll wonder what the hell you're actually paying for.[/quote]
