Interesting question. We are going to be in the exact position next year with DD3.5 at preschool. She definitely gravitates toward the kids 1 to almost 2 years older than her in this environment, all who are going off to kindergarten. Her preschool teacher last week told me she is ready for K except for her RE (rampant emotionalism) issues and newly found perfectionism. She is still very much a mama's girl.
I'm hoping she'll be ok since she has a summer birthday and will still kind of be in the middle of the group. And this year has been all about the social for her - she absolutely LOVES the older girls. I am hoping she'll dig in more to learning opportunities. This preschool is very small, flexible, open ended, and I know a number of HG+ kids who've gone through there.
Anyway - I guess we'll watch and wait!
