Reply to comment by NH_603_Family in Kindergarten Cut Offs by NH_603_Family

I have had many students who have attended a private school kinder or Montessori kinder before coming to public school kinder for this reason. If there are any around you, definitely look into them.

I'm not sure how one more year of preschool will not allow your child to progress socially...? Being one of the oldest and biggest in his preschool class will teach him leadership and patience as well as give him more confidence.

Maybe you just need to find a different preschool or a pre-kinder program for him.

(I am not able to give you specific facility names because I am not familiar with your area, sorry.)

Thank you so much for your response! Yes - I am looking into other pre-k options in my area. They are very expensive, though for the right fit I’d be willing to pay! There are also some local private and/or charter kindergarten options, which may have more flexible boards than the public elementary school.

Keep in mind that private and charter schools do not always staff certified teachers, in case that matters to you.
