I have been told by my son’s preschool that he needs to be toilet trained to move into the 3 year old room. My son turned 3 in September ’09 and has been diagnosed as ADHD combined and is really having a difficult time staying in the 2 year old room due to several reasons.

1. All of his friends have moved into the 3 year old room
2. He is bored with the things that are being taught as he’s been through it once already
3. He is not challenged or stimulated
4. Most of the children in his room are very young 2 year old girls
5. The teachers are frustrated with him and just want him out of their room

His preschool will not allow him to move into the 3 year old room until he’s toilet trained. If this is a California licensing requirement for preschools, can I please be told where to locate this in writing? Are there no exceptions? His ADHD is a big factor in him not being toilet trained. He can do it on occasion; the problem is with his lack of attention and focus.

Thank you so much for any help and/or assistance you can give me.

My son really needs to be stimulated and challenged at preschool.
