Behaviour of my 3 year old

[ariana_mommy]

I have a 3 year old daughter who started pre-school for the first time in daycare in the middle of April 08. Before pre-school, she was watched by her grandmother all day until i came home. For the past month now, i am getting bad reports on paper from her teacher that watches her 5 days a week 6 hours a day, on how my daughter isn't Listening and Disrupting kids when it's Nap Time. I repeatingly talk to my daughter everyday calmly on how she needs to listen to her Teachers and leave the kids alone. When she gets bad reports, we let her know that she did wrong again and can't go outside to ride her skooter or have sweets that she gets after dinner.
Sometimes when i drop off my daughter in the morning, i would walk in hearing the teacher yelling across the room to another kid, which i am hoping that's not what she does to my child all day as well.
I am very frustrated and too the point where i would like to request different teacher or find a different school for my child.
Could you please tell me if this behaviour is what a 3 year old does and what i should do in this matter.
Please help. Thank you

i am pretty mad at your post. i am mad that a teacher writes bad reports for a three year old. oh man! i have a three year old daughter. i would not stand that type of a teacher. and she shouldnt be yelling at other kids. she has no patience.

i agree with erinsmom.  if the children were being kept constantly busy and being entertained (which 3 yr olds require) there probably wouldnt be so much of any of this going on

My daughter is now eight and doing great, but we had similar problems when she was a preschooler.  Could be that your daughter is not challenged by her preschool.  She's bored with the routine and therefore stimulates herself by disrupting others.  She doesn't mean to cause trouble for the teacher, it's just that she's probably a social, smart kid and needs more than the letter "A"  and naptimes to keep her attention.  Luckily, we were able to get our daughter into a great preschool where she was learning to read and do early math, plus had a very firm but nice teacher and she did great.  The problems returned when she started kindergarten and she already knew everything, but by then when I would ask her what she did that day, her response would always be "Everything I learned in preschool."  Today she is still and energetic, social and bright kid.  She gets straight A's, but has never brought home a report card where there wasn't a mark for talking at inappopriate times.  I guess if there ever was a time that she didn't disrupt others, I'd probably think something was wrong.  It could just be your daughter's nature to be a chatty kid who loves being with other children.
