First day of School 2011

Reagan loves school. She loves everything about it, especially all the friends she has there and her wonderful teachers. This year for Preschool I had a couple of things that were very important on my list of requirements as I decided where we were going to go.

#1 - since Crew was also going to be in preschool I wanted somewhere that had 2 separate classes for each of them at the same time. (This proved to be a very hard thing to find. Either they had to go to the same class or one of them would go MWF and the other T/TH. So they would never be gone at the same time. This seemed very stupid to me. If they are going to school I wanted it to be at the same time.

#2 - since we have 2 preschoolers that means we are paying double for preschool. As I looked around I found that this could really send us to the poor house. So I needed to find somewhere that wasn't going to cost more than our house. This was also hard because if I wanted to get my #1 request I was apparently going to have to pay big bucks for it. I really was dragging my feet about this whole thing.

Luckily I was soon introduced to Granite School District's Preschool Program. I wasn't sure if we would be allowed seeing that we don't live in the district, but apparently that is not a requirement for Preschool. Lucky us. Also, since they are a public school entity their prices were very hard to beat! I am sending both my children to preschool for a price that is fantastic and let me tell you just what I'm getting...

Reagan's class is M/T/W/Th from about 9:00 to 12:00. (Most preschools are only 2 or 2 1/2 hours long)

She is in an elementary school with two teachers, a speech therapist, a behavioral therapist, and a school nurse specifically for the preschoolers, and a parent helper (sometimes 2) every day.

Crew gets to go on T/Th for the same time frame with the same teachers, therapists, nurse, and parent helpers.

It has been a dream and I am so happy that we found this solution. Reagan loves it and is learning so much. She is right on track for Kindergarten and I couldn't be more happy about it.

Here is Reagan on her first day of school...

She is a total poser. I love it!

Not sure about this one...

First day in front of her new school...
