[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I can see the request because my child has never been in a formal environment with other kids, like preschool or daycare and things have been more lax at home. I think the school's biggest reason is to get my child to understand structure and routine. I of course want to set my child up for success and don't want them to be struggling if they were to be in 2nd grade.[/quote] Our local public school has a "bridge to kindergarten" program for kinders who never did formal preschool. It's like 3 weeks of doing a school routine over the summer. It really sounds like what your son needs is something like that - a program that does school routines without the academics - and then he'd be ready for 2nd. But if you love the school, then I can see doing whatever it takes to have your kid there.[/quote]
