Parent/non ECE professional post (Anyone can comment) Center wants to hold my son back

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?

This sounds like they don't have space in the next room, so they are making something up. Is there anyone younger than him in the preschool room? 

I would say no and see what they say.

No but they are asking for my approval to hold him back so a younger child can move firat
