Your kid is...what, 3? 4 at most? And you’re concerned about your “feeder” daycare? Are you worried this puts the kid on the wrong path for HYP? 
People are hostile because it’s a little kid. Not even in preschool. They are still eating glue and drawing on walls at this age. It’s not a predictor of future success.[/quote]

OP here.  He is 4.5 and in Bright Horizons preschool and daycare.  It is not about his future in an Ivy League - it is about wanting him to attend the best school possible for him.  He is a bright but shy little guy.  [/quote]

I would ask for feedback... Did my child refuse to talk or engage at all during the assessment?

If he takes a while to warm up, and the assesor was rushing him, that's the school's loss!

Also... from what I hear, private schools interview  for very few spots and will take your waitlist or application fee happily.  Depending on your budget and values, a college educated nanny, or immersion preschool in ethnic area can teach him much more than a place that seems high end.[/quote]
