[quote=Anonymous]We looked at a several transition year programs but in the end just had him repeat a year at his play-based daycare in a different class. Convenience and cost played a large roll in our decision, and we didn't want to move him somewhere unfamiliar and then start K the next year. At first he seemed so old in his class after he had been the youngest in the years before, but by January we had gotten used to the new dynamic. The veteran teachers were really good about challenging each kid at the level they were comfortable. I also did how to read in 100 easy lessons with him at home that year and is was reading by K. If you don't think you will be happy with just the current preschool, I like the idea of putting your child in a private k and then deciding next year if you want to start public in K or 1st. In general I think having a kid close to cut-off is sucky and you just have to try and make the best of it. Good luck![/quote]
