Preschool for Non-potty Trained 4Yo

I am a SAHM with Social Anxiety issues. Those issues are interfering with socializing my daughter with other kids her age. I think she would benefit greatly from a preschool program. My problem is that she isn't potty trained yet. She was doing pretty good for a while but then just decided one day to be done with it. (might have something to do with her 2.5 yo brother trying to train at the same time?) I think that once she got into an envoronment with kids her age using the potty she will train quickly. But I am having trouble finding a preschool that will take a child that isn't potty trained yet. Anyone have any preschool suggestions in the Tacoma area? Thanks for the help!!

There are a few preschools on local elementary campuses that allow for children who are that age not to be potty trained. My son is an autistic child in such a class and at least one of the peer models(typical children)is not fully potty trained. They work with all the children on potty training issues.

a commercial day care will take her.
kindercare is a national brand of daycare they are OK. we also have childtime and tutor time.

my kindercare still wipes my 4 1/2 year olds behind if he needs help.. most preschools will not enter the bathroom with kids..(unless they make a total mess and need help)

My son went to Community Montessori (near St. Joseph's hospital) for preschool & he wasn't potty-trained when he started. They helped with the potty-training process a great deal, & I highly recommend them. The school has daycare licensure, so they can have the kids for up to 10 hours a day, 5 days a week (DS was only there 3 times, so they gave us cheaper tuition rates), & they provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, & give the kids naptime. Let me know if you have any questions about the school.
