Help! My kid is giving me grief. Goes to school (pre-pre K) and pretty much every day scratches someone, or hides from teachers, runs away when they are calling. Today, I got a call from the director saying my kid kicked one other kid in the head...just like that for no reason. Thankfully the other kid is fine, just a bit shaken up. They were not fighting regarding a toy or anything.
We sit every day and talk about having listening ears, and how hitting, biting, etc is not nice to other people. I don't know why this behavior. The teachers are strong and experience...but they cannot have 1-on-1 like I do with mine...they have a total of 16 kids in her class, some of which go home early at 2pm.
My pediatrician told me to get ready for the 3s, which in her opinion were worse than the 2s...but I thought it didn't involve this violence.
Any parents with recommendations of how to handle, please post your reply.

Frankly, she doesn't sound ready for pre-school. Can you pull her out and wait a year?

As former girlfriend of a man with a two-year old, I can tell you that there is only one thing that gets through to them and that is a swift whack on the butt. oh, yes, there will be an outrage of posters who do not believe in "striking a child" or that "violence is not the answer" bull pucky.
In nature, mama bears, mama cougars, mama *everythings* give their babies a good whack every once in a while. It is not to injure them - IT IS TO GET THEIR ATTENTION. Until you get their attention you cannot teach them proper behavior.
My grandfather used to say "that's what butts were designed for". You can hit them hard enough to make it sting without leaving a mark or hurting the recipient.
Now is the time to start teaching them behavioral concepts or you will regret it for the rest of your life, especially when they are 14 or 15.
The threes are worse than the twos. The twos are wonderful. I don't know where the twos got the bad rap. Threes are awful! (in a wonderful way but still awful!).
My friend's ped told her when her oldest turned 4, get ready for the effing 4s.
There is a series of books called Your One Year Old, Your Two year old, and so on...it might not give you cut and dried solutions but will help explain the developmental reasons behind the behavior which will help you figure out how to handle it.
No I can't, I work. Has been going to daycare or school since 14 months...so at the very least should be used to it by now.
Not trying to be critical, so PLEASE don't be offended, okay? Your child seems to need more of you then they are currently getting.
Is there any way to cut back your work hours? If you would starve otherwise then I'd understand. But if you don't have to work so much you're child would be better off right now if you didn't.

Well, that is a horse of a different color.
Your child is hostile because she feels abandoned. Have you ever BEEN in one of those places? They are like concentration camps for little children. My first JOB was being a two year old "teacher" in a preschool and I went home crying my first day and told my mother 'THANK YOU FOR NEVER, EVER PUTTING ME IN ONE OF THOSE PLACES WHEN I WAS A CHILD". I never went back, I could not bear it.
You would be infinitely well advised to change your lifestyle so that you can survive on one income and raise your own child instead of allowing it to be institutionalized in such a horrible, heartless environment. Honestly, go to a DIFFERENT "preschool" and spend a day there. See what it is really like before you defend it up one side and down the other. Unless you have been there yourself, you have no concept WHATSOEVER how horrible it is.
