Now that Mommy has been home for almost 3months and with the arrival of baby Logan, Dylan has become very clingy and too attached. Since he hasn't been around kids on a regular basis, he really doesn't know/like to play with others (unless it's Ate Cece). So while Mommy is home for maternity leave for another 5 weeks (boohoo), we are hoping to find a preschool for a 2.5 year old to get him ready for Pre-K3 in the fall.
There are so many different things to consider, lots of questions to ask, several interviews with teachers, and countless open houses. Our goal is to have him in school in the next couple of weeks as a trial basis.
Who knew the process can be so intense?! With the stress of it all, Mommy doesn't know if she'd rather be back at work at UMDNJ/CINJ with her patients or looking into preschools for her 2.5 year old!
Update:
On Friday Mommy checked out Elements of Learning which came highly recommended by friends. She liked the teacher and their curriculum but not too impressed with the facilities. However, we know several kids who go there and they just love being there. It was definitely a candidate and they can have Dylan start right away. We had decided that night that we'll send Dylan there on Tuesday.
On Saturday, we all went to St. Dunstan's open house for their preschool 3year old program for the coming fall. While talking with the teachers, we realized that they have a program for 2.5yo that will be starting Feb 5th. And lucky us, there's only ONE spot left. We jumped at it and registered Dylan right on the spot.
We knew right away he'll love it there when he didn't want to leave. We had to bribe him with food to get him out of the playroom.
SO, our little boy will be starting in two weeks - which only means Mommy has two weeks to emotionally prepare herself.
