Healed...as a mother of 2 boys who together have gone to 6 preschool/daycares between the 2 of them... not all daycares know how to handle boys. My older son was in a preschool and was struggling with fine motor skills (writing/cutting/etc). I had him evaluated by the child study team at the public school system... they said that the preschool teaching and expectations were not realistic for any boy let alone one with delays.

They put him in the public school prek and he did great. The differences I found was the private preschools do a lot of seat work and coloring and well stuff that caters to girls. The public preK did lots of stretching and motion and running in place and jumping jacks in between desk work but most of their learning was hands on and more done in a fun way.

Just a thought. My 22 year old nephew was thrown out of 2 preks and he is a perfectly normal adult.

Not every prek is right for every child.
