Leah went for preschool screening this morning. We'd gone when she was 3, but then the "peer" preschool program for 3-year-olds was cancelled this year. I thought from the email we'd gotten about the cancellation that we'd just be put on the list for preschool the next year, but I never heard anything, and here it is toward the end of May. One of the women who works in the Center for Early Learning came into the library and said just to come in again, so we did.
I think it might have been the same exact test as last time, though they weren't doing the hearing/vision/height/weight due to COVID. Leah was VERY excited about making friends with another 4 year old girl in a dress who came into the waiting room at the same time. She was also (mostly) excited about the tasks, though she told the screener "We'll do it tomorrow" about something and also that she didn't know her ABC's!
She counted to 20, gave me 3 and then 11 blocks, stood on each foot, threw a beanbag against the wall, cut a paper, copied a line, circle, plus, and square, sorted by size, color, and shape, and made a tall tower and a pyramid from blocks. She wrote an "E" with about 10 horizontal lines. She spelled her name out loud, and then when she was supposed to write it on the paper, she wrote a very neat capital L on the far left side of the page/line and a neat capital H at the far right side with the whole middle of the line blank.
She was scored at 60th percentile with motor skills (I think those darn right-handed scissors are a disadvantage), 84th with "concepts" and 71st with "language." The screener seemed confident that we'd get a spot, if not at the start of the program, at a mid-year opening.
