We called the local public and private schools (basically anonymously) to gather information and got pretty much shut down by the public schools and one of the private schools. "No, we do not do that, goodbye."
Same here but we did not call, but took an indirect route.
We went and did the tour thing and talked to the principal and or director. Listened to them first. Then we looked carefully at the curriculum and the classes and at the kids. We did not talk about Mr W during this time.
Then, at the end, if we thought this might work, we talked objectively about where Mr W was at in terms of his knowledge in the framework of their curriculum, what our issues were with where he was at, and what we were looking for. At this point, whether they asked us questions about him told us right away if they were flexible and were willing to try.
The long and the short of it is that couple of private schools are willing to let Mr W (3y4m) start in K this fall provided he fits in with the K-bound kids this summer.
