What a difference a day makes!

After a recent post regarding Simone and school vs daycare, I am pleased that she is now transitioning into a three year old class, and doing well. I look forward to her transition and the new learning experience.

school vs daycare?

Okay since Simone is 3 1/2, she is enrolled in PPCD (preschool program for children of disabilities), * side note I'm getting better at learning all the acronyms** anyway, her school is good and she is learning sign language very well. I'm am wanting to enroll and take a class myself. BUT, after school she attends daycare. When I enrolled her I was advised they can accommodate my daughter, I even met and visited the three year old classroom. I enrolled her at the daycare and was advised the three year class was full and that she can stay in the two year old class for now, well It is January and many of her class mates have had birthdays and parties that we have attended and moved to the next class for threes. ... I asked the teacher why my child hasn't moved up and was advised, since she isn't potty trained it is easier for them to manage her,,,hmmmmm!!! well prior to October my daughter was at a different  daycare that I Loved but due to change in school districts, I had to move her, she was learning potty training there and at home, now she is being treated like and infant and is returning to infancy stages and not wanting to use the potty chair anymore.! I would like my child to be moved up so she wont be 4 years old in a two year old class. Is this right, what should I do?? Is this delaying her progress or is it best I seek a new school who will work with special needs children.?
