+1.  OP seems to think K is all work, and not developmentally appropriate.  There is a lot of play and attention to socioemotional development in the early grades at our school.[/quote]

I've had one and a half children go through K (one's mid-year) and in FCPS it seems like a pretty miserable experience these days. Only a half hour of outside recess! Maybe we're just unlucky in the school we're zoned into.

OPs preschool sounds exactly like my pre-school (gosh, I wonder if it IS our pre-school, is it in Oakton?), and we will be facing the same decision another year down the line.

In previous years we've seen one family just move their child to a different, slightly longer pre-school. Another family found a part-time, private Kindergarten; their plan was to send the child to a public K afterwards.  Otherwise, there's a *ton* of stuff during the day on Parktakes for kids five and under. Swimming, gymnastics, art, etc. Just search for classes at the rec centers & parks near you.
