[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to ask the preschool.  Some have the requirement and some do not.  My DS and DD went to a preschool that was also a daycare (am was preschool and pm was the aftercare).  It started at age 2.  There was no requirement for potty training.  As a matter of fact, the school helped in the potty training process.  [b]I would not have sent my DC to a school that required potty training. [/b] Unless your child trains early it's simply way to much pressure on you, the school and your child.[/quote]

Sorry to break it to you, but all schools in DC require potty training.  It's a matter of which age.  The DCJCC (which is the program I believe you refer to) is licensed to change diapers because they take 2 year olds.[/quote]

Definitely not true. My kids have been in two different preschools and neither have required potty training, including in the 4s class. I don't know if there were any 4 year olds who weren't trained, but it wasn't a requirement of the school.

I agree with the pp that I wouldn't have sent my kid to a school that required kids to be potty trained by a certain age. Kids develop in different ways at different times, and I expect a school to be sensitive to different kids' developmental stages. Clearly I'm not asking too much, since both schools my kids went to understood that, and, indeed, were fabulous during the potty training experience (changing and cleaning up many accidents).[/quote]
