Starting Preschool

Kit is very excited about starting school. She will be going to Stratford School, a private school offering classes through eighth grade. However, her campus is focused on preschool and early elementary grades.

Today she was invited to join their Halloween party and parade. Her class is very active and fun.

She starts preschool next week and will attend two mornings a week. She already discovered a play house that she likes.

They strive to keep each student engaged. They move rapidly through the program to maintain interest. It is a busy, fun, educational 3 hours. There is also a short recess break and a snack time. There are monthly themes for music and art class as well.

She talks about joining the circle next time.

At snack time the students line up to wash their hands then take a seat.

Hands should be on their laps until everyone has been served. Then they sing a song and start eating.

Kit didn't know! She snuck a bite then complied with the rule once she was told.

She enjoyed the day and is looking forward to going back. It will be harder when mommy actually leaves.

Outside preschool, Kit will continue with the play group twice a week and swimming once a week. She now has a plan for every weekday morning:

Mon & Wed: play group
Tue & Thu: preschool
Fridays: swimming
