[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you feel strongly that he NEEDS preschool? Maybe he's just not set up for success because he's not ready? I personally don't think there's much benefit to preschool, compared to a qualified nanny at home. [/quote]

Different kids thrive in different environments and this preschool isn’t the one for him. Maybe look for one that is outdoors all the time and focuses more on body movement than circle time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Personally, I think sending your nanny in to enforce good behavior is not a good idea. [/quote]

I am the biggest outdoors preschool proponent you will find, and my son goes to a completely outdoors preschool and I just want to share that it still isn’t a panacea. I wish it was. My son with adhd has still had struggles even in the outdoor environment because navigating sharing and peer relationships is still hard and sometimes even more hard outdoors where there is less structure (good in some ways, hard in others). The op seems to have her child in a preschool specifically for kids with additional needs in an inclusion setting so I just wouldn’t jump to saying it’s the setting that’s the problem (especially since teachers said they don’t expect him to sit). Outdoors is amazing and I certainly think it has benefited my kid but wouldn’t want anyone to think it just magically makes things disappear. [/quote]
