We have another, longer orientation session on Monday and I'd like to have an idea of what I need/want before I go. Is this the start of what it's gonna be like from now on, I wonder??

BTDT. We moved Mr W for this reason.

Come at it from an angle. Ask about what each class does, then let them talk. Then ask how they decide when to move kids up. Then mention that DS does what the older class does and really seemed to like that room. Then come right out and say you'd like to have him start in there as he is intellectually their peers.

The thing to keep in mind is if they are not sensitive to his needs now and can not see that he is advanced, then he will only be ignored for sure in the toddler class.
