I'm a bit confused at a play based pre school having recess. When I say play based I mean like we have here where it is all free play except maybe 10 minutes twice a day and meal times. I also don't think 7 kids and one teacher is a good fit. One teacher can't sit and talk to him for a while but with 24 kids and 3 teachers there is more scope. It is also more likely you will find a friend.
