But great point about the preschool environment and one I hadn't thought about. In our area social preschools are huge and though private, have pull with the public school district. They provide information to the district on each child's readiness for Kindergarten, meaning if they don't feel the child is ready they voice their concern and the district considers it. They don't, however, help with early entrance into Kindergarten, but this is due to the district's rigid rules about the date. Logically, if the preschools have the ear of the district shouldn't they be able to lobby for a child's advancements that would at least get an evaluation?
