Plus it works with your schedule! Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-classes-and-time-options#post-2113654 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:00:53 +0000 Jess1483 2113654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was the youngest in his class by 6 months when he started (and for about 3 months after). There are new kids now, but I think it was super beneficial for him. I think it depends on personality, but I definitely wouldn't discount the possibility just because she'd be young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-classes-and-time-options#post-2113651 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 19:58:47 +0000 Bao 2113651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: That's a good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-classes-and-time-options#post-2113556 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 18:18:32 +0000 lawbee11 2113556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually find that my LO learns more when she's the youngest in the class because she tries to be like the older kids. So that would be my preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preschool-classes-and-time-options#post-2113546 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 18:07:28 +0000 Bao 2113546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got back from LO's preschool open house. She won't be 3 until August 29th. School starts that following week. They have a program that starts at 2.5 and goes through younger 3's but is morning only. They also have a straight 3's that is afternoon or morning and a 3/4's mix that is morning only. I really want her to go in the afternoon instead of the morning because it works with our schedule better but that would make her a little bit younger than the other kids. </p> <p>So....would you put your LO in a class that best fits your schedule but makes your LO a little younger, or would you make it work even if it was inconvenient and put your LO in the younger 3's class so that they aren't the youngest? </p>
