A new school for Piper
last night we attended an open house for a local pre-school. We really liked the program and having the Prinicpal as our next door neighbour helps! It is a Lutheran school that goes up to grade 6. We really loved the teachers and hope that we can secure a spot for Piper for the Fall. We are keeping Piper at her current
pre-school/daycare until the summer, then we will start her again in the Fall at her new school. When Paisley comes home I wont be able to babysit in the mornings, hence we wont be able to afford the school she currently attends. I'm sad to say goodbye, her teachers are lovely, but this new school is a 2.5 hour program and is 80% cheaper than her current school. The only bummer is that she will have to repeat the pre-school 'three's' class. We got a variance from the State so she could do pre-school three's this year, the variance is not transferable. However, since Piper was 2.5 when she started pre-school, it wont hurt if she does the three year old program again, it's a different school with a different curriculum so I'm sure she wont get bored.

Sounds wonderful!! And I think it's great that the curriculum is different...different setting, different kids & teachers, I'm sure Piper will FLOURISH!!
