Three-year-old suspended from Arlington preschool for too many potty accidents

By that time, the Rossos had bought Zoe a special watch to go off every so often to remind her to go. They read or sang to her as she sat on her green frog potty. They watched training videos with her and devised an elaborate sticker system to reward her when she made it to the toilet on time.

After she was removed from school in December, Zoe had only a handful of accidents, her mother said.

With trepidation, the Rossos sent Zoe back to Claremont earlier this month. She stayed dry at first, but within a few days she had five accidents.

"I couldn't bring her back to school" after that, Rosso said. "Every single day, we'd be waiting for the principal to appear and escort us out of the building again."

After frantic calls, the parents found a spot for Zoe in a program that works with children who are being potty-trained.

"We told Zoe that we want her to go to a school where people aren't going to get mad at her for having accidents," Rosso said.

Since she started at the new school on Jan. 11, her mother said, Zoe has made it to the toilet every time.
