[quote=Anonymous]If your child has an interest in learning to read at that age and has developed the early literacy skills to support this then go for it. Personally I would not be comfortable with this type of school. I say this as someone with a degree in early childhood education. At this age they should be in a literacy-rich environment that encourages building the foundational literacy skills, but reading as a top priority at this age is a red-flag for me (for all those except the truly exceptional genius children). What is the school's philosophy towards supporting the development of other domains? Particularly social-emotional development as that is key at this age. There is a greater correlation between healthy social-emotional development (particularly self-regulation skills) and academic success in elementary school (and beyond) than there is correlation between early readers or intelligence and academic success.[/quote]
