We are looking at doing a split program with Mr W.
He spent a week at a daycare with mixed kids ages and really liked it - while his regular sitter was on vacation. He learned a lot of positive, new things by emulating the other, older kids. Every morning he would get up and ask when we were leaving to take him to the new place.
So, we are thinking of doing a MWF at the Pre-k with TTH with the sitter for the Spanish immersion and other enrichment.
I just wonder if the shine will wear off for him like it seems to have for the other posters in this group or if the split program will give him more stimulation and keep things fresher for him?
We've looked at the milestones provided for the different locations and he has most of the 2 and 3 year old stuff down, so I wonder how to start the discussion about LOG? Right now we are looking at Montessori-type situation with 2-4 year old mixed groups, but would like to not wait until he is 2.5 years to get him in.
As a test, we've been lying about his age for some groups that do not require proof of age and he fits right in.
And how would we notice early that he was not fitting in?
