For the first 18 months of his life my oldest was an only child. He had my undivided attention. I was able to do things with him that I am not able to do with the youngest. My youngest has gotten very little one on one time with me. We decided preschool would allow them each to spend time away from each other evolving into their own person and get to do their own thing. Mason will be able to make friends and learn to trust other people besides mommy and daddy. Logan will be able to stay with me and I can focus on him and only him a few hours a day.
Now my decision on where to send my son was not an easy one. I was looking for a flexible affordable place that would not disregard my beliefs and values. There was this one place that I had been in touch with since we first started our search. I always wanted to go check it out and never did. I finally decided what do I have to lose. If its not the one then I keep looking. We walked in there to find out pricing and care packages. Not sure how the conversation came to be, but I told the director about how i plan on homeschooling some day and she said "good for you mama. I strongly suggest homeschooling over public schools." I was immediately in love. While reading through their parent handbook, I read that they practice gentle discipline. No time outs only time in talking about the situation. I fell more in love. Well as if I needed more reassurance, we went for our tour yesterday. My son got upset because we were going to leave. He was crying...even screaming. This woman went down to his level and said, "Mason I know you're upset, but you get to come back and play with us next week." Yes! This woman validated my child's feelings. I was sold!
I am so grateful to have found such place. They even teach sign language. I am so excited for his first day. 😊
