School thoughts

Raina will turn three in May, which puts her right on the cusp of so many things. Developmentally, it puts her past the other kids in her two years-old daycare room and makes her greatly desire being in the three years-old room. She hangs out in there in the early mornings and late afternoons; if we show up at 4:30 p.m. or later, then she never wants to leave daycare because she finally went back to the threes. It's just rapture in there for Raina.

Knowing that our kid is a capable, clever thing, we pondered the next step in regard to her schooling. Technically Westport School Child Care has the word "school" in its title, but I don't know how much that should fool us. And now she's of the age that applications to pre-school make sense. We are surrounded by religiously affiliated pre-schools (like I would send my kid to a Southern Baptist school!!!) and ONE secular school. We checked out the Parkway pre-school and were not overly impressed, so it's another year of daycare for Raina.

The next step, though, is applying to a really expensive school, MICDS, starting at age 4. Let's cross our fingers that she gets in!
