4 Year Old Needs to Spend Time with Other Kids

Updated on August 20, 2010

My 4 year old son has been an only child until very recently and has had very limited exposure to other children. I would love to enroll him in preschool but he is also not potty trained, and to my knowledge most preschool programs require that children his age are fully potty trained. Does anyone know of a "Mother's Day Out" program or something similar for kids his age where it would be okay that he is still wearing training pants?

What can I do next?

There are some drop-in day care places, such as Kiddin' Around in Coppell. They take all ages, so the potty training, I'm guessing, would not be an issue. See if you can find something similar closer to Plano.

Like the other poster said there is a place park and presto. Called adventure kids but they are $10/hour, not sure that would work for long term.

I would call some church programs and ask.

I'm pretty sure the Plano ISD preschools don't require that your child be potty trained to attend preschool. There are 3 in the area...I just know of the one that is West Plano..Beaty...Not sure the name of the others but I guess it's a good time to see if there's availability.... Good Luck!

I would call a few good MDO programs, such as Custer Road. They will probably work with you. I think it's important for your son to socialize and it will probably help with the potty training by seeing other kids go potty on their own. Preschool is important if he is going to be going to Kinder in a year!
