Do you remember preschool? I remember that I went to "Nursery School". Small Wonders Nursery School to be exact. A place where fishing for the catch of the day while dressed in your favorite ball gown would earn you a very deserving taste of ants on a log... Who could forget such an experience??? Today, a mere 30 years later, it is called preschool... I am guessing that "ants on a log" are no longer served because of peanut allergies... The catch of the day is probably much more academic, and the ball gowns are probably not the teacher's old prom dress, but rather a princess costume from Target... My how times have changed! One thing remains the same... We send our children to preschool with the hopes of acclimating them to the school environment. We hope that they have the opportunity to play a little, socialize a little and even learn a little... The Kindergarten teacher in me has realized that there is a lot more pressure on preschools around the nation. The teacher in me dreams that these children come to us with some basic skills and knowledge... The parent in me dreams that my child will get to go fishing using a paperclip to catch cardboard fish... Hopefully the preschool I've chosen will give me a wonderful mixture of all these dreams! Sutton (and soon enough Shaeffer too) will be attending Funshine Preschool at Grace Church. I spent a lot of time and energy researching and visiting where I wanted my boys to go to preschool (probably too much time) and landed very comfortably on Funshine. I'm excited to watch my little boy grow, OH and to give him ants on a log the second he gets home from preschool!
