please please help. ds will be 2.3 in the fall of 2009. do i wait to apply for preschool for him so he will enter at 3.3? or do i apply this fall for 09 admission. i know there are many progs that will not take him at 2.3 but i worry about waiting so long and also worry that it will be more competitive for the 3's programs. please help. any advice will be greatly appreciated [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
