We are looking at 2 different preschools for my son. both are at churches in my area,3 hrs, 3 days per wk. Preschool #1 is closer to my house so they said 98% of those kids will go to kindergarten with my son. I like the preschool but they do not do Bible story daily , But, I did like the school from what I saw, but have been asking around and so far-have found no one that actually goes to the school to ask THEIR advice.Preschool #2 is a little further and the teacher said they only have 1 kid enrolled that will go to kindergarten with my son. If it were not for this I would probably choose this preschool for my son, mainIy b/c I know several whose children have went there and they love it! My son is very shy! Doesnt like large groups, slow at making friends. he went to Bible class (without me) last school year and at the end of the year, was still somewhat clingy to the teachers on the playground. maybe another yr will make a difference but Im worried about kindergarten w/new kids..

I am preschool shopping myself so I understand your concerns. I think preschool #2 may be the choice for you b/c you know ppl who went their and loved it. As far as only 1 child being enrolled in kindergarten I don't feel that should be a problem. Just attending preschool regularly may help him adapt to being away from home and meeting new ppl. Kids are very flexible with friends, so if there are new friends at kindergarten he may enjoy meeting them too. But if your still unsure you can ask Preschool #1 if they can put you in contact with a few parents whose children attend for references. Good luck!

Personally I would choose preschool #1 because it will give your son the opportunity to get to know the kids he will go to kindergarten with. You said he was shy so in the end this would probably help his transition into kindergarten. Where I'm from the preschools at local churches are wonderful so I believe whichever you choose you will be making a good choice. Good luck!!
