My son just finished his st week of pre-k. He is one of the youngest kids in class since he just turned . Most kids are closer to being . I took him to class this morning and he started crying because he doesn’t like his teacher or school. When I walked him to the class we stood at the door and he really began sobbing and she just ignored him, she looked at him then just turned around and walked off. While we were standing there another mom brought her kid to class, he was also crying. The teacher walked over to him took him by the hand and told him it was going to be ok and helped him find a book. She walked by my son and I a few more times and still never said a word to my very upset little boy. I stood there for minutes then I just took my son home. She looked as if she was annoyed with my son and I am beginning to think she just ignores him the whole time. He is the type of kid that has never been shy and hasn’t met anyone that he doesn’t like. If I ask him about school he just shuts down and gets really frustrated and doesn’t want to talk about it. Has anyone had this happen with their kid? I just don’t want my son to feel as if he isn’t as important as the other kids in his class.

Honestly she was watching you work through the moment and sometimes the mom needs to just go and let the child have a growing moment
As a retired preschool teacher I know I would be greeting some children and ring cAught for time not greet others and give parents a wave goodbye
I think it is natural and normal for the transition to be scary and for you to make more out of his insecurities than need be.
He may be to young for the experience
I think you need a different game plan you know at one point he will settle in but you walking out the door with him when he was not transitioning makes the situation worse for Tuesday he wil make a super fuss all to get out of class again
You need to make him feel he has the skills to be successful, like show me where you have your pack and this is that morning…hug kiss and leave even if he crIes praise what you want to see
Stop hashing school topics all weekend so that mall he focuses on
Relax and know it is a growing moment for both of you

THAT’S PRETTY BAD! I teach preschool and would never just walk past a crying child. I would ask to meet with the teacher and ask her how your son is doing at school. Tell her he’s not too happy ,what can you do to help. See her reaction. If she says ANYTHING negative about your son. Find a new school. Being the youngest in a class is hard on a child,but having a teacher ignore you is not OK.
Well, me being in summer care in . I was ..
My teacher was same way.. I would arrive at :am and I took a nap by the air conditioner for hr.. wake up eat breakfast. Watch a movie.. go outside at am and play for hrs. am eat lunch.. Take a nap till about :. Played PSP for minutes eat a snack.. and played outside from -pm and went home at pm.. My teacher didn’t even know I was there.. I was stealthy
I don’t understand your behavior. You stood there with your son, and didn’t talk to the teacher, or encourage your son to enter the room, or try to distract him? You just stood there and stared at the class? More information needed.
I wouldn’t take my child to a class where he was not wanted nor valued. I would find another class for him, or just keep him at home.
