There are a handful of private schools in our area but are costly. Some of them are out of our price range. One is a Montessori school that I would love from him to attend but again, it's costly. We could do a kinder only option, but that's something we would have to talk about.
He WAS in a Prek class three times a week but we had to pull him. The preschool wasn't willing to work with him, academically or socially. He was being bullied and set aside by his teacher. It was a bad experience. I agree in attending kinder and skipping 1st grade. Though, the school here, the kinder class isn't play based. It's full on school! We took a tour and I was shocked. It's more like 1st grade was for me.
He is gifted but not mature. He's a silly 4 year old who loves fart jokes! He pushes and hits, runs, and laughs. It's like two different ages sometimes.
