Hi there, my little girl will spend 2 years at pre-school as her birthday is in October and I have some concerns about this. Has anyone else been in the same position - or does anyone work in a pre-school and is able to comment?
She is half-way through her first year and we always said we would move her onto a different setting for the 2nd year as we thought the same setting for another year wouldn't be stimulating enough. However, now it is coming to deciding about what to do, we are getting anxious about making the right decision by her.
My reasons for keeping her there: The pre-school she is at is good, although there are as normal I'm sure, things that bug us a bit about it; She has settled really well and loves going; Half of her friends are summer babies so will go to school this September, but the rest will stay at the same pre-school as they are a good few months younger; and the staff seem nice enough.
So it has a lot going for it, but I'm just concerned that she will end up doing the same things twice. We were thinking a different environment would keep things interesting for her, but then again, the current pre-school know what she has done and perhaps will be able to better differentiate things next year??? I feel less confident about the latter as I have spoken to a couple of parents who sent their children there for 2 years and they got bored and frustrated.
I know I should speak to the pre-school about it, and I will, but it would be good to hear other people's experiences of this problem - or who works in a pre-school and can comment on how things should be different next year.
Many thanks, two confused parents!
