KJP, looks like you have made a decision that would work. I just wanted to say that I have agonized over this same public vs private debate. Dd is only 4 and will go to K this sep. IMO, the small class size and the mixed age classroom that private offers really make a ton of difference. Like your ds, dd loves only all the non academic aspects of school. But she is absorbing a lot just by being around older kids and from having the freedom to explore and work at her level. All the best with your decision.
