I would very much appreciate some wise MN advice.
To cut a long story short, my twin DDs have been at a nursery since last Sept - took a while for one of them to settle but now love it. Spend all morning playing with play dough and painting, fine for their age.
However, they have now been offered a place at a very good pre-school - starting in September - nearer to our home and they have an excellent reputation for learning basic numeracy, letters, computer work etc etc.
What would you do - leave them at a place they love but you know won't give them much stimluation in a learning environment - they will spend the next year with just play dough and paint - or move them to the new place?
It seems obvious to me now I've written this down, but I hate the though of unsettling them and parting them from the teachers they love and part of me wonders do they really need this "learning" pressure at 3.5 - 4. Maybe they should be just playing until they start "big school".
Views appreciated - have to give the new school a yes or no this afternoon as there is a big waiting list.
