Preschool

In a moment of complete honesty, preschool was always more about my needs than my kids.

Me too! I love having them in preschool, but it's mostly about getting a few hours to myself through the week. I'm really glad that they're teaching them some school skills, though. I also didn't know many people when we moved here, so it was a great opportunity for him to learn how to play with other kids his age.

It's all going to work out in the end. I don't blame you for doing what you can for K1 including preschool. I don't blame S-J for considering preschool optional for her kiddo. For me and my kids, I vote (minimal) preschool, but I don't think that's the One Right Answer. As you said in another thread, as long as it doesn't legally qualify as abuse, you have to do what seems right to you as a parent and trust to the outcome.

Wait, what? Did I mistakenly say that somewhere? My dd is in her 2nd year in a full day (5 days a week) Montessori program that mixes PS- PreK-K into a 3 year program. She was a daycare kid during med school and really thrives in her Montessori program now. It's more early education than many kids here get so I'd say we are on the "more school" side of things.

Sorry! I got you confused with civilspouse! I'm so visual, avatars throw me...mea culpa.

I really need one, I'll get on that. I love to spout my opinion on the fly and sometimes I make little sense!
