[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this really a real post?  I don't know anyone who wants this academic a curriculum for their TWO year old.[/quote]

Yeah, this is fake, right?  Three years old.  The social piece matters most right now.  [/quote]

OP here.  The social piece is very important, I agree.  But because she has been in that type of environment for going on two years now, I don't want her to feel bored in a new PK3 classroom.[/quote]

My DD was in a similar spot when she started DCPS PK-3. Her ECE classroom was Reggio-inspired -- so in many ways the antithesis of her previous experience -- and I had similar concerns.

Boy, was I wrong. She had a fantastic experience in pk3. Being a little ahead of the game was great for her confidence and gave her some breathing room to work on the social aspect. She seriously had a WONDERFUL year, which set her up to do well in pk4 and beyond (she's in 1st now). She was never bored -- knowing her alphabet already did nothing to diminish the fun of weaving a little Moroccan-style rug.

On the contrary, she might well have been bored in a classroom with a more academic focus.[/quote]
