[quote=Anonymous]My DD’s first preschool when she was 2 was primarily low-income, in a not nice part of town, and had only a few children who spoke fluent English. When she turned 3 she started at a preschool-8th grade school because we were worried about competitive K admissions.

It’s a parenting choice I regret. We should have kept her at the first preschool. The other families there were not at all competitive like at our current school, and everyone was generous and kind with each other. The teachers were incredibly experienced and met each child where they were. The kids were earnest and took good care of each other and were patient about the language barriers they all faced. My child was genuinely loved and our little community of parents may not have socialized together but we constantly shared food and gifts. I didn’t know how good I had it.

I don’t think my DD has ever been truly understood at her fancy private school, even when she was really little, but her 2s preschool teachers knew her better than I did some days.

Choose a place with warm, nurturing teachers and nothing else matters.[/quote]
