DeHe,
Glad my babbling was useful to someone! (Usually my DH says "just answer the question already.")
I think that it's key to try to find other kids with your kid's interests. But even the kids my DS loves to do things with can't beat the lure of being a homebody with mom and dad these days. I'm not worrying until he's older.
Sorry about the lack of differentiation. What I did in kindy (and this year in 2nd too) was donate books to the classroom that I knew my DS would like. He didn't like to stand out by having a book from home, but he'd happily select something from the class library. You can slip some Basher science books in there too, so your DS can get his science fix...
