Nursery School Ques
My DS is turning three this year, but was born after our district cut-off date. I would like to enroll him in nursery school, but have the option of enrolling him in the 2 year old program or the 3 year old program.
What would you do?

Re: Nursery School Ques
Will he repeat the program for two years before PreK?
My son was born on Dec 9th, and our district cutoff is the 1st. He did a 2-3yo toddler program last year and is in nursery with 3-4yo now, and will be in PreK in September. I would probably keep him with the same group of kids even though he will always be the oldest.

I agree. My twins are December 2nd and our cut off is the 1st. They are in the 3 year old program now and the oldest in their class and they will be in the 4 year old program next year. But I think they are right where they need to be with their friends.

My DS is the youngest in his class. He is 12/28. He misses the cutoff (12/1) but he does better with the older kids so we are keeping it that way and he will go to K early in private school

Nursery School Ques
my dd bday is 12/14. she entered a 3 year old program at 2 1/2. She is going to repeat the 3 year old program next year than move up with those kids to the 4 year old/preK class. I saw a few kids in my older dd's class get upset when everyone else was "graduating" preK and moving on to Kindergarten and they had to repeat the pre K class again next year. I would rather my DD repeat the 3 year old class and then move up with the kids who will all be entering K together. Especially since she is still young enough now to not really know or care that she is repeating a class and making new friends.
ETA- realized I didn't answer the question lol. I would enroll him in the 3 year old program.

I'll be doing the same and keeping DC in his year. In fact, DC is going to a summer program with the 4 year olds. When they told me I could enter the 3yo or 4yo group, they also said that the 3yo kids may not all be potty- trained. My DC has been trained for over a year, so it seems more age appropriate to have him with the 4yo group.

Re: Nursery School Ques
Ours mixes 3,4 & 5 (Montessori).
I find this ideal.
DD is born 2 weeks after cut off & this will help her not be too bored.
