8 children per teacher is a great ratio. I would be willing to pay $5,000 a year for that. On the other hand, 8 is a small group and if everyone else bonds with each other but your DS doesn't then it can be a very lonely experience.

As Tigerle wrote above, you can always give it a try and regroup later if it doesn't work out.

Wishing your DS a fantastic kindergarten year. smile
