It's been tough finding a preschool for Olive because her birthday is after the September 1st cut off for all private preschools, but the NY Public School cut off is December 31st.

Would you rather...

Send her to a mixed age Montessori program (2.9-6) where she would be the youngest? They do offer a 40 minute nap (mandatory by law), but no one naps since none of the older kids nap. Olive has always been a sleepier than average child and naps the most at daycare currently. She'll be 2.9 years old when she starts.

updated to add: the montessori program ends at 3 so she could technically nap after it.

Send her to a 2's program because she's not eligible for a 3's program. She'll be one of the oldest kids, but she has some delays. She might catch up by the time school starts next September, but we still have to make a decision now.
