My daughters 3 shell be 4 in january shes been going to daycare since she turned 2. Her last daycare she went to she really liked it. Sometimes she'd cry when i dropped her off but when i called within the next 10 minutes she was fine...the teacher when id bring her there would hold her and try to distract her by making her color or play tag or some other form. Now she goes to preschool and she absolutely hates it...the first week she went it was kinda cold and shes been potty trained for 2 half years and the teacher told her to hold it when she said she had to pee and she peed her pants...my daughter told me this myself and then they dressed her in shorts and a tank top and sent her home. they never do activites there what they do is send little artsy stuff home for them to do but i never see her color anything. They sing and say there abc's and stuff but shes supposed to be in speech therpey she was at her other daycare and they still havent signed her up and shes been going for 3

M onths i really feel shes getting further behind at preschool and she wont be ready for school if i leave her there at her other daycare they were teaching her abcs and spanish and she was doing really good she had a new activity everyday. Do you think i should pull her from preschool and move her back to daycare? ive never had a real problem with her daycare.

Everyday when i get ready to take her to school they tell me she cries for 45 minutes to an hour after i drop her off she tells me all the teachers are mean to her and the kids hate her...i dont even know where she got such a complex...but i dont want to pull her from there because when she starts school i cant just pull her out of ever class because she doesnt like them?

I think you should definitely look around for other options in preschool. Don't feel bad and think that it's just because she "doesn't like the other kids" or anything. I personally feel that the cargivers dropped the ball which for anyone would be a concern. Telling an almost 4 year old to "hold it" is unacceptable. And if you don't feel she's getting the proper academic instruction or speech assistance then definitely move her. It's better to prevent her falling behind than to have to try to bring her up to speed so to speak when she's older. You are her advocate in things she can't speak for herself on and proper education is definitely one of them. If it were just the other kids "not liking" her or the teachers being "mean" then I would say talk to her on why she feels that way. But you yourself are having concerns about the actual level of care she's receiving so I would just move her.

Why did you pull her from her daycare and put her into a preschool? Did you find out first if her daycare offered preschool? Some do. You don't have to go to a place where there is just a preschool. If she was happy where she was, and recieving her speech there, then go back. She shouldn't learn to hate school at a young age. She should love playing and coloring and doing kid stuff. Leave where you are, and go where she liked it, and you felt comfortable.

Preschool is more then just learning fundamentals, its a childs introduction into what school is going to be like. If she can't get along with the kids at this age imagine what it will be like when she gets older and the kids are even nastier. Find out what it is she doesn't like about the school. Talk to her. See if there is anything you can help her with or make easier for her. Teach her to deal with the issues and if you don't know how to deal with them, then get some help. You should file a complaint about the school not letting her go pee. She can get serious medical problems if she is forced to hold it and the teachers should know that. The school does not have the right to stop a child from using the restroom if they have to go.

I would switch they can't expect a child that age to hold it, usually they wait till the last minute to go anyway. If she was happier at day care go there or try another preschool. I also suggest sending a change of clothes with a child that age, send something that fits and is weather appropriate because accidents can happen. Most day cares do preschool type stuff.

My daughter had many similar problems at school..i personally don't think there is any harm in a child repeating a year, especially at this age..it hardly makes a difference in the grand scheme of things..maybe she is just not ready..kids always learn better when they are happy..i kept my little girl back after consulting with her teachers..i would ask them what they think.

Tell the teachers they need to help you. They should make her feel more welcome and secure. That's part of their job. This is your child you are talking about and you should demand proper care for her. If they don't want to be teachers then what are they doing there. If that doesn't work then switch her preschoola dn demand the deposit back immediately from this one.

Personally I would look into other preschool options. To me their actions seem inexcusable, they are her caregivers when you are not around and should act as such.
I hope this works out for you and your little girl.

find another preschool...it should be a happy experience for her and you should feel confident each time you drop her off. if you have any kind of negative feeling change the preschool.
