[quote=Anonymous]This sounds way more like a 24-month-plus program than for kids under 24 months.

My DS is in preschool with kids 24-36 months.  While they don't do sippy cups either, I would never be told my son was "making a mess" at meals unless it were really a major thing.  They know kids make messes and do something to stop playing with food if they notice it (i.e. tell the child to stop, move them, sit with them, etc.).

The teacher or another older kid helps them get drinks at the water fountain during a specific time (not just whenever they are thirsty).  If thirsty, they ask and get water in a cup.

They don't typically walk far, but if they do and a kid asks to be picked up, they are usually picked up.  Of course, not every single kid can be picked up all the time for the whole walk, but they do their best to take turns and accommodate.

This sounds really strange.  As another PP said, some kids at this age aren't even walking yet.  I have a friend with a 16 month old who just started walking.  What do they do with the kids who can't walk yet?

Maybe they are just trying to establish some ground rules and routine for her, but I'm surprised they seem surprised that she's having trouble adapting to these things.  [/quote]
