My advice, based upon very similar personal experience is to run, don’t walk, and get your daughter out of that environment.
I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping both my daughter’s home with me until kindergarten (out of state, not FL). I now regret this every day. When my older daughter started Kindergarten, we were almost immediately told all the same things your VKP teacher said. The same issues did not affect my younger child. Even in a different school system, this has followed my older daughter into third grade. She has always been viewed as behind, and to this day, even with all the testing she has received, I feel like no one (including me) knows what she can and cannot do. If she tests well on something, it is discounted, and when she does poorly on something, that is the standard they hold her to. Please don’t let this happen to your daughter.
I find it hard to believe that within one month a 4 year old could be deemed so far behind that the teacher already knows she may need to repeat. (Unless you know that your daughter has issues, which I am assuming not or you would not have asked the question). Every advancement your daughter makes will be tainted by the pre-judgment the teacher has made, and therefore not “good enough” even if she is doing the same things as the other kids. Perhaps your daughter (like mine was) is not familiar with the routines of the school and what is expected of her. If this is the case, the teacher may have to work a little harder with her, and the teacher may resent the time she needs to spend clarifying things for your daughter.
I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic, but as a parent with a daughter who was dealt with the same way from the very beginning of her school experience, you don’t want your daughter in that environment. (At 4 weeks into kindergarten we were told our daughter was “at the very bottom” of the kindergarten class, even behind kids with identified learning disabilities). I will never, ever forget that. We later found out the teacher gave the same speech to several other parents, but no one shared it at the time it occurred, most likely because we were all burning with our own private shame of having a child so far behind.
I hope you find the nurturing environment that will suit your daughter and allow her to flourish.
Good luck.
