My four year old is starting pre-k this Monday. I took her to orientation yesterday so she could meet her teacher and see her classroom. She immediately went on her way to play at the centers. When it was my turn to meet the teacher I called her to come to me so she could say hi and she started getting a fit which by the way she normally doesn't do. Then when she wanted to go back to her "spot" where she was playing, other kids were there so she cried more, it was so embarrasing..lol
I don't know how she's gonna do on Monday. I hope she doesnt act up or cry, I've asked her if she's going to be a good girl and she says she is. Do you think she'll do good? What can I do to better prepare her?

I'm sure she'll be fine. Every kid goes through this, and they all express themselves a little differently - as another answerer said, teachers have seen it all.
To prepare her, just remind her that when she is in school, the teacher is her boss, just like mommy and daddy are her boss when she's at home. Other than that, just communicate with her teacher on how she's adjusting/behaving and go from there. She'll do great though, I'm sure.

the teachers see this all the time, starting school is harder for some kids than for others. She will quickly adapt to the calss routine. Good luck

She's only four.
Save your energy and attention to her classroom behaviors for when she is 16 and 17---this is when she'll NEED discipline from you.
