[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the comments and recommendations.

A few details without giving myself away just in case. M[b]y DD's preschool is a 'feeder' preschool to a academically rigorous private school that her sibling is at[/b]. I just compared my elementary school child's schedule with my preschooler and my older child has far less transitions. DD's preschool teacher is new and this is her first year as a lead teacher. My DD had a similar schedule in her 3 year old class with no known issues, but that class had a seasoned teacher that ADORED her.

DD is very strong willed, very social and spirited. She has a strong desire for independence and we give her many opportunities at home to do things on her own.

We did bring up concerns to our pediatrician at her last well check and a ASQ (?) screening was done and she scored in the white zone for all areas which they said means she was developing as expected. However, I do see some traits that look like ADHD to me. She's high energy, impulsive and very sensitive to people being upset with her. She often says that she feels like "nobody likes her." But she does well during sit down activities, listening during story time, taking turns, etc.

I don't want to dismiss her teacher, clearly she's behaving out of step of her peers and perhaps further evaluation or we need to look for a school that's a better fit for her... We'll see how the next few months go and see if we can find improvement together. [/quote]

OK, you are at a private like Beavoir.  By saying they are documenting, they are getting ready to counsel her out.  She is not going to be fed into St. Alban's or wherever you are.  You need to immediately start working well with the school to help your daughter move up (don't fight them on anything) or immediately start looking for a better environment for her.  A full neuropsych workup is in order (not what your ped. did).  By doing so, you are not only working with your current school, but you are starting on the right path to get the best next private school for your daughter. Sorry, but I've been down this road with autism, ADHD, and anxiety disorders, and this sounds like one or all of those.[/quote]
