So OF COURSE the second I have any kind of hopeful feeling about this whole thing, the director shuts me down.
This morning, like clockwork, she tells me dd is just too young. I asked if she talked to the teachers for Paja, she said she talked to the kindergarten teacher. I asked if the K teacher talked to dd. She said no but the teacher just can't have a 3 year old in Kindergarten. (She would be 4.5)
You don't even know how old my dd is and you are telling me she's too young?
And what age did you tell the k teacher she was?
So, anyway, I left the building rather than start freaking out, and called back a bit later to arrange a more formal discussion. She is pretty nice but I am sorely disappointed; being not really sure how much dd needs this makes is harder, for sure.
I just don't know; when it was just going to be an easy trial period of a few weeks I figured it was definitely worth giving it a go. (Now I don't even want to keep her there if that is their attitude - it's just a bad way to look at kids, imo. )
Things I am going to ask about -
when was the age policy created, because I asked about it specifically when we reviewed the school.
what is the curriculum for K vs. Preschool 2
what can they do for dd if she is (wildly) bored in preschool
and, just maybe, I'll ask who I can contact at the HQ to discuss this.
please let me know if anyone else has ideas on this one...
thanks
