Can I have some help on a letter to parents that I don't feel their child is ready for a preschool program.
This is her 4th week here (3 days a week)
I've documented the last two days behavior. Am I expecting too much from her being 28 months old or not?
12/18 – Taking other kids Food off their plates
- Pinching kids
- Hitting kids with her book in the reading center (they are sitting in the chair next to her)
- Being loud at story time/circle time, other group times when she shouldn’t be – babbling loudly
- Not staying at the table and throwing things at the table (her cup, fork, etc.)
- Getting up at circle time and laying on kids, pinching them
12/20
– Interrupting me while I was making lunch at least 8 times because she was either getting up to take things off the table – food, other kid’s forks, etc. Also kept getting up and laying on kids and bothering them. (They normally watch a show at this time
- throwing food at the table and on the floor.
- Ripped up another book today (happened previously)
- Disrupting circle time/story time with loud babbling and bouncing, bothering other kids
- refusing to stay on her mat at nap time, babbling loudly, not being quiet, standing and jumping on her mat
- Interrupting me at story time (before nap). Kept getting up and touching others mats, trying to play toys, being loud, etc
She also doesn't seem to be able to follow any directions I give her. She is also a rocker, rocks herself to sleep, rocks her head against the wall in the reading center, ****s on her wrist, babbling at music time.
I have heard her say her abc's and talk so she doesn't always babble. I have had to rearrange things, put up most of the table toys (she will just start dumping them), crayons, etc. I feel like I'm having to rearrange every activity the days she's here to accommodate her and I don't know if I want to do that any longer. The rocking, parents never told me about. It may have been a deal breaker right way because we all nap in the same room so it's disruptive. But they didn't tell me about it. The mom also made it sound like she is good with structure, ready for preschool, etc.
Her first two weeks she didn't do anything much but rock in the chair in the reading area but now that she's doing that less she's been super busy. I really don't know if I want to term or give another two weeks but I want to give the parents a heads up.

Here preschool starts at 3 & honestly most aren't really "ready" until 4 in my opinion...
