So we just finished registering Logan for School today. He will start Pre-Kindergarten on Monday.
I am so very excited!! Logan has been asking us for over a year to let him go to school, well we just didn't have the money spend on that... its like $175.00 a week to send a kid to preschool.
Here in Florida they have a program that the State has funded to get kids into Pre-K so they are prepared for Kindergarten, you have to be a resident to qualify. The State pays for 3 hours a day 5 days a week and if you want your child to attend longer then you pay the extra hours. Logan is going to start with the 3 hours a day for about a week or two and then we will move him into longer days when he is ready.
Logan is jumping up and down with excitement, we have toured the school twice and each time he didn't want to leave, he wanted to start school right then. I told him he needed school supplies before he gets to start. We took him to pick out a lunch box, he chose Mario Brothers, the kid is addicted to Mario Brothers on the Wii! We have other things to pick up later when he goes full time, but for now they can wait.
The School is so amazing!! The Teachers are great, they have small class sizes, they do not allow sugar during school hours (awesome!), you are required to pack healthy lunches (easy for me), they provide the healthy snacks.
The Curriculum is wonderful and they actually had something that surprised me, they teach the children the sign (American Sign Language) for each letter of the alphabet! We have been signing for a long time, Lilly is really good with the sign for "all done" and is learning many more. Logan knows a lot of signs already, thank you, Mom and Dad, ducky.. etc. I just thought that was very cool!
