Tawanna, my son was not potty trained completely until the summer before he went to kindergarten. It will happen, just give him a little while longer. I kept telling my son how really cool kindergarten was and all the neat grown-up things he would get to do (ride the bus...), but he would have to be using the potty all the time. That gave him a good incentive. Also, I think your daycare provider was wrong and showing poor judgement when she told you that your son would have to be moved into the two year old room if he had another accident at school. First of all that is demeaning to him and inappropriate. Also developmentally inappropriate and uneducated! What are these woman's credentials and ece education? Support your son in a positive way and perhaps tell your childcare provider of your concerns...might I suggest finding a new provider with a more supportive and loving attitiude to situations like yours (a child having an accident at school at age 4 is not unusual at all!).
