DS23mos started preschool this week at a school for advanced
kids. We went last week for the transition week and he and I both loved it. The first day was okay, he cried a little when
he was dropped off but was fine when we watched him on the monitor before leaving. Yesterday his teacher said he cried on
and off all day and today he totally freaked out! He started
screeching when we turned into the parking lot and completely lost it when we entered his room and two other kids were crying. He just can't handle the noise level and chaos.
The Director offered to move him to the 3yo class. He could academically probably handle being in Kindergarten, including writing.
His reading is at least 2nd grade level. He has advanced
Social skills and plays cooperatively with other kids.
Our worry is his size, he is still a toddler and he is a skinny little guy. He is taken aback by a 2yo bully in his
class who is his size so I don't know how he would handle
having to stand his ground with 3 year olds.
We expected to have to deal with grade skipping later on but not this early. Does any one have experience with a similar situation or an opinion? Any advice would be appreciated!
