[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Director of a preschool program here - the problem with PEP is that they don't always transport children to/from the program - so you'd have to figure out how to get your child from PEP to full day preschool program.  And teachers can't walk children to bus stops, etc because I need my teachers in their classroom or on their break getting ready to go back to their classroom for the other teacher to take a break....

Also, finding a full day program with 3 or 4 yr olds in MoCo with only 10-12 children will be really hard to find - a half day nursery school might have that few children, but a full day program won't because it's not financially feasible when we're paying teachers full time, which includes paying for health care benefits, etc.

So I'd also say focus on doing the PEP program and also some additional speech therapy for one more year, in hopes of doing something different that last year before kindergarten begins.

Alternatively, if you could switch PEP to afternoons, then you could do a half-day nursery school from 9 to 12, take your child home for lunch, then go to PEP.  That might be possible as your child is 3 or 4 years old and doesn't nap.  But that's not a full time solution, you'd still need to have someone home to do all the transporting, but at least you'd be getting the mainstreamed socialization - and if you do that, you might have better luck finding a really small class size because nursery schools often are smaller class sizes.

OP here. Thanks for your great insights! [/quote]
