My DD loved preK, despite the fact that her teacher openly declared that she had nothing to teach her. It was just a few hours a day, it was a social experience (DD is extroverted), and she got to do stuff like read stories aloud to her classmates, so her abilities were celebrated. At the end of the year the teacher was all set to start the process to skip DD to first grade, but we were moving to another state.
Kindergarten came, the new district would not entertain a grade skip, there weren't any other reasonable accommodations made available to her, and DD crash landed. Her year was such a disaster in every domain (but primarily intellectual and emotional) that we were forced to homeschool.
