[QUOTE="SRL, post: 108002, member: 701"] I'm of the opinion that three year old preschool is highly overrated in this country. It's really been a recent trend, and one that has became popular as more moms hit the work force. Preschool's primary function is to help prepare children for kindergarten and one year is enough for that. Make sure that you choose a preschool that stresses socialization. I was in no hurry to get my children out the door--none attended 3 year old preschool, all had 1 year delayed entry into kindergarten because of birthdates, and all went to half day kindergarten. They had a lot of time to hang around home and just be kids, to go to the library, play outside, etc. Didn't hurt them a bit--my daughter was the only student going to half day kindergarten with the rest of her class full day and when I asked if she was behind because of it she said no, she was ahead because of it. If he doesn't settle down well in a new preschool and you aren't seeing good progress on the speech, I'd pursue private evaluation and private speech therapy. A 25% delay at age 3 could be causing some frustrations but not agression. [/QUOTE]
