Today Hunter had Preschool orientation. This is Hunter's second year in preschool at the YMCA. I struggled whether to repeat the the Tuesday/Thursday class he did last year, or send him to the Mon/Wed/Fri class. The three day a week class is for kids entering kindergarten the following fall. Hunter's birthday is June and as of last year we were undecided if we would send him to kindergarten next fall, he will have just turned 5 so we could wait another year, if we wanted to. So, I ended up just signing him up for the twice a week class. At this point we are planning to send him to kindergarten next fall, I did try to change his class last minute, but the class with the teacher I requested was full, so 2 day a week preschool it is. I really don't think it's that big of is deal - I'm pretty laid back about this kind of stuff. It's a mommy break more than anything, and time for him to make new friends.
I really love the Y's preschool program. The teachers are awesome and an added bonus is that swimming lessons are included once a week. They do lots of fun, hands on projects. And I think it is good for Hunter to experience structure outside our home (who am I kidding, I'm sure there are times the only structure he has is at preschool) He is looking forward to this year and so am I. I love seeing my little man grow and learn. Here is a quick picture I snapped at orientation.
More pictures to follow from the first day of school, September 4th.
