Preschool dilemma

Posted May 20, 2008 at 9:59AM in Schooling by rockergirrl | Back

So my youngest is off to preschool next fall.  He has been home with me full time since birth.  The choices are hard.  The expensive more full time one my oldest started out in we cannot offer to our youngest because I am no longer working outside of the home and we can't afford it.  Here are our two options.

Options 1.
 2 hour 3 day a week option that my oldest son went to for a year.  The cost is affordable. but there is a cost The program is great.  The head teacher has been there for 20 years. 

Option 2
2 hour 45 min - 5 days a week - Cost is FREE, program is new so we have no history or a lot of info on the program but he would be on a closer schedule with my oldest son.

option 1! my 4 yo goes 3 days a week- if it were five, by the time you drop off and pick up, it slices every day of the week...I'd vote for 1! that leaves you two 2 days to plan activities or just hang out- thoughts?

good point. I guess after coming off of working part time from home for the past 4 months I was thinking having that dedicated time each morning would be good instead of trying to juggle him and the work.

I think if it were like 4-5 hours, it would work but man, under 3 hours, 5 days...by the time you pick up, run one errand and get home, you've got no time left...That's just my thought but if your hubby drops off and you charge through the morings, it might be worth it...tough call

wait, two hours, 3 days a week? will you be able to work during that amount of time? still, it puts less stress on the mornings and if you like the program- it's really about his enrichment, right?

yeah it is supposed to be huh? Why does it seem like the second kids and on get shafted a bit more than the first. I still have to drop off his brother every morning so I don't ever have the option of not running out at that time anyway. I would just be dropping two off instead of one. Oh who knows - I'm sure it will be fine either way.

I would pick number one. But I'm still at home and probably will be until my youngest is in a full day of school. That won't be until he's part way through Kinderdarten....two years away.

Where the other school is new, I would check it out and only you know how your little one would handle being away from you for the time period of 5 days a week. The hours for both aren't bad though...just don't know if "I" could handle 5 days in a row. lol
