Realizing that my daughter was going to turn three this fall has sent me into a fevered frenzy of preschool searching. Actually, my fevered frenzy is more like "umm... I heard this one is ok, maybe I should call them." And then I tell myself that for a few days until I actually do it. So anyhow, this is hard and also time consuming, and, once a school is chosen, will be expensive. I guess I didn't realize that preschool is almost $500/month full time and although I'd like her to just go 2-3 days/week for the first year, I think full time might be good for her second year. Then, it's kind of weird, but it seems that either the schools are super structured, sitting at desks, doing worksheets and not being fun at all, or free and easy, hippy dippy, barefoot. It might be nice to find something somewhere in the middle. Then there's all these methods and philosophies and rules and registration fees and waitlist fees and... it's enough to make me just want to start school in kinder and skip all of this. But I know she'll love it and I know she needs just a little extra structure and variation in her life at this point. So I'll get through it.
So far I've had one visit and one upcoming appointment. I think I'm going to call two more places and make appointments with them. Results to be announced but I already know it isn't going to be the first school. That one was pretty terrible.

You'll have to let me know what you think of the different methods and philosophies. I am already starting to look at all that stuff because we might end up homeschooling while we are in Texas because the school system kind of sucks. So far all the information is completely overwhelming and I never knew how expensive it could be to homeschool! Blargh. Good luck in the preschool battle!
