Today I went by the preschool where Helen will start going next week to drop off her immunizations card and find out if there was anything we needed to bring (other than signed forms), etc. Helen and Alice went with me, since I had just picked them up from playschool 4 doors down.
And, once again, Helen was SO stimulated by all the toys and learning tools in there that I had to DRAG her out. I think the Montessori environment is going to be very good for her.
I just hope that my tutoring schedule fills up as anticipated so that we can afford this. I need ten students a week to break even on Helen’s preschool, Alice’s playschool, the yahhhhhhhhd man, and groceries. Anything more than that goes towards the home equity loan we got to pay for the New Room and my quilting habit. 🙂
Ok, I’ve very behind reading your blog, so I’m going to start with this one… Mira, too, is going to Montessori this fall (up here school doesn’t start until after labor day). We got a huge tax refund in April — the entire amount is going for her preschool. THis is the only way we can afford it. From what I’ve heard about the school, it will be worth it. I sure as hell hope so! Now I just have to figure out how to afford NEXT year!
