[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool director here:  Children usually don't initiate "I have to go potty! I have to pee!" until after they are mostly potty trained, which means they aren't having accidents constantly all day long.

Yes, we can't have a child having a BM and getting it all over the floor, rug, chair, etc as it falls out, etc.  BUT the teachers should be taking him to the potty A LOT.  He should go to the potty when all the others are getting their diapers changed. And THEN  in addition he needs to be taken before they go outside (as in, he's already used the potty but right before everyone goes out, he must go again).  Then when they come in from outside, he needs to be first to go to the potty. And before and after lunch, then before and after naptime (and if he wakes up early he should be taken when he wakes up) and so forth.

For now he will need to stay in diapers or pullupp at childcare but keep working on it at home:  put him underpants at home, and on the weekends.

Our preschool didn't potty train until the kids were 2.5 or later. they had to be potty trained to get into the older 3s room (started at 3.5) or wearing pull-ups to get into the 3s room.

3 is the right age to potty train. We did it in two weeks.[/quote]

[b]Ours wouldn't allow anyone to move up to the 3 year old room until they were potty trained. Absolutely no pull ups, either. The older 2s teachers were wizards when it came to getting those kids trained.[/b] There was always some 3 year old (sometimes more than one) stuck in the older 2s room because they weren't trained, but the director always held firm that the 3s room required being potty trained. No amount of teeth gnashing and complaining by parents would make her change her mind.[/quote]

This. Our daughter was trained at two becsuse the school trained the twos room in December no exceptions. Kids who joined later in the year couldn’t go to threes unless they were trained.[/quote]
