[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public preschool + aftercare is often too much for some kids. It’s not at all unusual! We pulled our kid from a very well-regarded DCPS PK3 program for this reason. He was just really unhappy and [b]they [/b]were not able to deal with the issues. He moved to a smaller daycare and was so much happier.

At a minimum consider if he really has to do aftercare?[/quote]

They were not able to deal with the issues you created and enabled. For which you blame them. I weep for your kid's future teachers.[/quote]

oh ffs. these are LITTLE kids. unlike you, I am not here to shame anyone. Many need to use free PK and aftercare, and some kids do fine. but it is a lot for many 3 year olds and it is really common to pull them from aftercare.

as for my kid - the proof was in the pudding. he was SO much happier at the small, mellow daycare. he went back to the same DCPS for K and did great. DCPS PKs are fine for certain types of kids but they are not set up for nurture and comfort - and a lot of parents still want that for their toddlers barely out of diapers. In addition, DCPS as an insititution just is not set up for the needs of 3-4 year olds. We found the school was not prepared institutionally to handle normal developmental stuff because the focus was on older kids. Daycare was much more attuned and attentive. [/quote]
