After much looking around and going to preschools I had given up and decided DS wouldn't be going to one and if an opportunity presented itself I would take it but, otherwise we would just skip it. I got an email that our children's museum was going to start doing preschool! I signed up for it. It sounds perfect.
"The Children's Museum preschool cultivates children's natural interests within the classroom and museum setting by applying the principles and practices of Maria Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Certified, experienced teachers will guide each child's preferences by asking questions and encouraging discussions. As children begin to explore topics and skills that interest them, they'll begin to think critically, and increase their confidence, self-reliance, and socialization. Math and language development will happen naturally, and problem-solving will occur logically, through play and interaction with others."
So excited. They also have a bit of museum time built every class so they get a bit more hands on stuff. The other preschools were hoping the kids could recognize their own name printed out by mid year and doing alphabet sounds. EEEEEK he would have started acting up for sure.
I really just wanted somewhere he could explore and make some friends. Since 'Sid the Science Kid' school isn't real (ha ha) this seems like a good alternative.
