Hi --

It's hard to challenge an individual child in a large classroom, but not
impossible. Things to ask the teacher:

1. Is there a basket of enrichment work in each subject area (math,
reading) that kids can go to independently once they're done with
the classroom assignment? This can be worksheets, independent
reading books, manipulatives, etc.
2. Kindy is a great age for groupwork. How is groupwork organized?

I disagree. Group work makes sense when each individual is skilled
enough and therefore has something to contribute. I'd say focus on
developing the abilities of the children in reading, writing, math,
art etc. so that they will have the skills needed for group work in
the future.
