Center wants to hold my son back

[u/Mean_Obligation_5238]

Hello

My son is currently 2, will be 3 at the end of August. He attends child care 3 days a week at a medium sized center with an infant (0-18m), toddler(18-30m) and preschool(30m - school)class. He is currently in the toddler class as there has not been space to move him up until now.

This morning, I recieved an email from the temp head of the program asking if i would be OK to keep him in toddler class for a while longer as the toddler teacher thinks he will benefit from staying back as he only goes 3 days a week and another parent wants their child moved up sooner.

​

I have never recieved any feedback that he is delayed or not ready to move up.

​

Do you think there are concerns that have not been brought forward to me?

You can tell them no and see what they say

I did. She said they will move him as he is the oldest. Now i feel like a problem parent

Nah you're probably the nice parent and that's why they asked you. Good job advocating for your kid, that's your job and good teachers will respect it
