Most G kids will be in great shape in terms of K expectations without doing anything out of the ordinary, anyway.

I'd go play based if I had to go back and do it again. smile


Ditto! Half-day play-based in a mixed age class (where he was the youngest) worked well for us. If you have a child who doesn't do well with agemates, I could see play-based being a challenge if there weren't some older kids in there. But my DS7 is still friends with one boy he met n pre-K when he was 3. The boy is a year older and MG, and it is a nice fit.
