Thank you all! I do live in an area where most kids who are able start a preschool around 3-3.5. We live in a state that doesn't offer public school before Kindergarten, so unless you are need based (we aren't), you pay for the program. The program is three hours for three days each week. According to the school, the schedule is:
8:30 - 9:00. Arrival and free time to choose work in the classroom
9 - 9:20. Circle time and sharing
9:20 -9:50. Specialty classes (one day he will do Spanish, anothet music and one day they go to the school library to check out books)
9:50 -10:30. Smaller group work. They may work on project work, shelf work or may go to a statio .
10:30 - 11:00. Gym or outside time
11 - 11:30 Lunch
11:30. Dismissal
bzylzy, thank you! I found my way to this website after a couple of the kindergarten teachers in my family said that my son may be gifted, and he could do some things at age 2 that their children were learning in school. I must admit, I was shocked, overwhelmed and a little frightened. He is any only child, so I didnt have any true comparison. I am reading "The 5 Levels of Gifted" and that led me to this site. I am so thankful that it exists! I feel a lot less overwhelmed now.
