[quote=Anonymous]For Montessori, I know a lot of places won't take new students for K because it's the final year of the children's house cycle. If there's a school you are interested in, consider starting there in preK so your kid gets two years in CH. You can always re-evaluate placement either at the end of one year, or later on. Maybe the school ends up thinking that he's ready to move up to Lower El after one year after all; maybe he ends up doing the Lower El cycle in two years instead of three. Or maybe you end up deciding that being in the cohort where he's the oldest rather than the youngest is the best fit for him. The point is, there's lots of flexibility, and making the adjustments is generally NBD because there are always both some kids in the class moving up to the next level each year, and some kids staying in the same class for another year. That dynamic means that it's not weird or stigmatizing for a kid to skip or do an extra year in a classroom. [/quote]
