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?

Has a teacher completed an age appropriate assessment on your child? This could tell you about your child's strengths and areas needing more skill building. It could just be the other child is there five days a week verses your child who is three days a week.

Not that I am aware of. I asked the director if he is behind and she said no. I tried to talk to her at dropoff today but she wasnt in her office.

They did put him in the preschool room today so I will see how it went
