Enrolled dc in K for the fall and thinking I made a mistake. Fall birthday, am considering privates for K 2009 and think I may be better off applying out of preschool and not out of K. I am thinking of contacting PSD and seeing if dc could go back in Sept. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

you should. Having a psd (if its a helpful one) is much better than applying out from public K. [ Reply | More

We enrolled our child in a g&t K last year (Late Dec bday) and returned to former pre-k w/in 3 weeks of start date. She (and we) had had an incredible experience being part of that community and the PSD is so supportive but the younger classmates and teacher we didn't click with(no major enrichment, weak curriculum),caused us some regret. This is a PG kid and we're not loony about academic rigor. Our choice was based on a desire to limit major tansitions and pursue a great ongoing. Mission accomplished btw; I know several kids transitioning well from Public K- it will be reinforcement and not a repeat. [ Reply | More

Sounds like mommy had problems with transitioning and not dc... So sad. Your child will be bored later and you've added another year to his/her school career. If the intellect was there, it's a shame to squelch it. [ Reply | More

I don't think PSDs have as much power as you think. Just apply out of K. [ Reply | More
