My 2 1/2 year old son will not be starting preschool in September since we found out we were moving too late. I don't mind not having him in a program, but wonder if he and I will both be ready for some type of program in January. thanks   MEC Citizen Username: Mec Post Number: 7 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 4:17 pm:        My friends daughter started Beth El in Jan - early 2's class. Beth El is in S.O. and she is happy with the program.   kmk Citizen Username: Kmk Post Number: 231 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 4:18 pm:        We were thrilled to find the "Bridge" program at Open Door Nursery School on Wyoming Ave. Most of the kids were too young to start school in September. The "Bridge" program started school in January. The only catch is most of the kids are 2 1/2 years old in January (May birthdays etc.). I think it would be completely appropriate for any child's first preschool experience - even if they are almost 3 to begin the year.   sac Citizen Username: Sac Post Number: 830 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2003 - 6:18 pm:        You might also consider contacting the preschools to get on their waiting lists. Usually spots do open up during the year and if you get in before they do the registration for the following year (usually in the December/January timeframe), you will probably have priority for re-registration at that point.   Alex Kisch Citizen Username: Akisch Post Number: 5 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 6:32 am:        that's all very helpful. I have some names of preschools, but I'd love to hear of some more ideas. thanks so much   Laur Citizen Username: Laur Post Number: 22 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 7:12 pm:        St Stevens in Milburn starts a group in January. It's supposed to be great program. We're starting there this Sept.
