Preschool troubles

Mara moved into the four-year-old preschool class in the middle of August. Since then, every morning she says she doesn’t want to go to school. DH has been dropping her off and he says that she’s very clingy and this AM she actually cried when he dropped her off. It seems that things are getting worse rather than better. Her teachers say that the first week she was a little naughty-not listening, talking during lessons, etc…but nothing serious…and that after the first week she seemed to settle into the new routine and she stopped being disruptive. When I ask her about it she doesn’t have anything bad to say about school or the kids so I’m at a total loss at what to do or even say. I was hoping that this was just a transitional thing-a phase that would pass, but it doesn’t seem to be. Anyone have any ideas to get her excited about going back to school?

Aparna has started just from today, so I will have better updates by next week. Some of the things that came to my mind, was she close to any of the younger children there that they didnt move along with her - Aparna likes 3-4 kids younger to her age and constantly talks about them, I know they are not moving with her to the JKG, so I am wondering if she will feel any different!! Is the routine any different - less play time,less nap time
Poor Logan! Sometimes I think taking them back and forth between 2 rooms is more confusing for them. Of course they're going to prefer one room over the other-so why would they draw it out any longer than they need to? KWIM? I think Mara does better with change if it's fast-cold turkey. There's no confusion on expectations; it's just a new situation and adjustments need to be made. Now that assessments are over in the PS room for Mara she's doing really well! She no longer complains that she doesn't want to go to school. And she's so proud of everything that she's learning. :)
