    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @fromrobbiewithlove That’s what I’m thinking is that I’ll end up regretting that he didn’t have any structure once he switches to kindergarten and is there for 6 hours of very structured school compared to him doing 3 hours very laid back or 3 hours somewhat structured.

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @dasiebe Right I’m not really worried to much about the drive although it’s a lot easier to go right down the street I just want the right fit for him and I’ll do whatever needs to be done to get him there. I’m just worried because I want him happy but to go from a 3 hour very laid back days to...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @obiviva Yes that’s what I’m worried about. He only has school for 3 hours a day and I just don’t think he will be ready for a full 6 hour day with the school he’s in now unfortunately but a lot of people are also saying it’s to much structure so I’m at a stand still. I’m leaning more towards...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    Update! I switched my son and he absolutely loves it! I didn’t realize how much his old school was holding him back and the new school has more structure but he still gets to play and he’s actually made so many more friends here. I’m so happy I switched him. He had not told me how truly unhappy...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @cpr That’s my concern. I was sent a picture that said science and nature and when I opened it, it was just a picture of my child and 3 others playing with dinosaurs. I don’t know much about any of the diagnosis he could possibly have so I was scared most of all that he would not like it being...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @temesgen You’re absolutely right! I guess I really should have said I like his teacher and the fact that she understands how he acts is not him being bad he just can’t keep his body still like most the children there can. I have made my decision to go ahead and change him because your correct...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @cookiedough7177 Thanks I’m so indecisive obviously lol but I think your right and my guts pushing me in that direction. I just feel bad his teacher likes him and is very sweet but you’re right it’s beneficial to him in this case and that’s what is most important.

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @cookiedough7177 The only thing he has learned is alphabet but this weekend we did the homework they sent home and it was sounding out the letters and he didn’t know any of them I was basically teaching him. They draw pictures, count (which he knew before starting) and he learned to write his...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @katrina2017 Your completely right I’m taking his choice into consideration but I want to do what I know is best for him. If only I could take him there for a week it would make this decision so much easier ugh being a mom is tough! Thanks for your advice i really appreciate it. I have a lot to...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @katrina2017 Yes he will be going to kindergarten in august. I keep going back and forth on it because the school he’s in has a great teacher and is pretty laid back but the new school I think he would learn a lot more then he has. I just wish he could explain to me why he wants to switch so...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @spacecadet3767 I like his school I just don’t see much of a change in how much he’s learned since he started and I also don’t see the teacher do much with the kids besides circle time for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon. I’m just torn between not knowing which one he’d...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @russianpotatoes Thanks so much! I’m excited to see how this goes. I’ll update on this thread (if I’m allowed) in maybe 2 weeks once he’s been there for a week or so.

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @russianpotatoes I actually spoke to his school today and told them he’s changing schools and they were very understanding. I do believe if he absolutely does not like it I’m sure I could always come back as long as they have a spot open for him but I have faith this is going to work out well...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    @russianpotatoes Right I’m just stuck and it’s in my head constantly because I’m overthinking it all. My biggest concern is I want him to learn more because he does play more then anything and doesn’t get much time with his teacher but the time he does get is beneficial. I would love not driving...

    Should I switch my 5 year olds pre k from play based to structured?

    Option 1: His current school I absolutely love his teacher because she understands he moves around a lot and does not make him feel like it’s a bad thing because she knows he can’t control it. It is a 15 min drive there and 15 minutes back in a different direction then my other child’s school...
