[quote=Anonymous]I do not think the above poster meant that feeder preschools prep for K. I am not aware of any feeder preschool prepping for K or prioritizing “prepping”.  My dc went one of the feeder preschools, and there was no prepping. Butwhat it had was PSD who had great relationships with many different schools. There are a lot of communication between PSDs and admissions directors for K. However, not everyone from from a feeder preschool go to TT. For example, if there are 6 kids from your preschool go Spence, I bet out of the 6, there are about 4-5 siblings or legacies.  You are competing with legacies, siblings, and donors in your preschool.

With that being said, I agree with the above poster. Just because your dc does not go to a feeder school, does not mean dc can’t get into TT. There are some TTs that avoid having a feeder school. My dc’s K class consisted of several public and preschools that I never heard of.

As to prepping for K, I heard from a friend who enrolled her child in a group that “preps” kids for playgroups. She got spooked after seeing another child at the playgroup at one of the TTs. The child extended her hand first for a handshake and said her name to one of the administrators of the playgroup. The child took the initiative. She thought the child was clearly prepped and enrolled her dc with the group. But honestly,I do not think prepping for K is necessary. Just make sure your kids learn how to listen and play well with others.[/quote]
