[quote=Anonymous]My kid started when he was almost 4 because i waited until I could do DCPS pre-k and he has an October birthday. We stayed with our nanny share until then, which we loved at the time. When he finally did start preschool, I ended up regretting not starting him in some type of group program much earlier. He was behind a lot of his class socially despite being one of the older kids. He had a lot of trouble with following directions, paying attention, and staying with his group. He got frustrated when things weren’t exactly as he liked them— he was so used to just playing with one other kid and having his specific routine. I understood why 3 is generally when preschool starts— not 4. It did even out over the year but we were super worried about him for awhile. He absolutely would’ve benefited from at least a part time program until then. [/quote]
