My DD just entered K a few days ago at age 5 1/2. She has never been tested but she is certainly advanced. She is reading things like James & the Giant Peach, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Charlotte's Web & the Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. She is also advanced in math. We have not done any advocating. We picked the half-day program which is 2.5 hours & includes recess everyday & gym, art & music once a week. Her teacher stated that she believes in learning through play & the room is all center-based (DD loves the writing center).

So count us a nonadvocators thus far.
