[QUOTE="Angela41, post: 574706, member: 14703"] This is just my opinion, but I believe that the quality of the teacher is more critical than the size of the class. My six year old son also becomes overstimulated in larger groups of children, but fared much better in a larger preschool class with more flexible teachers. With 18 kids, there will likely be a teacher's aide. This is very helpful- one adult "teaches" and the other ensures that the kids keeping on task. Lastly, I agree with the other posts, that you need to talk with the school in advance about your son and his challenges in larger groups. I'm sure K teachers have at least one or two special needs kids each year, and a conversation will help prepare them for some of the (possible) challenges. [/QUOTE]
