Picking out a Preschool!

It's amazing how hard it can be to find the right pre-school! I feel like we are choosing a college for our 3 year old! We have a new early childhood center in our school district and went to visit it last weekend. It was beautiful and huge. Probably bigger than my grade school! The only problem was that they did not have the pricing ready yet. We had a feeling it was going to be expensive, but how expensive could it be? It was a public school. Well, we got the pricing and I was outraged! It was two times what the catholic schools charge! That is ridiculous! So, we visited St. Mary Magdalen and we just loved it! They were so inviting and we met the principal and we got a tour with two students and a mother who answered all our questions and just had great things to say! Taylor loved the 3 yr old room too. I had no idea that private schools had full day 3yr old programs! Its going to be great. She will go 8-3:30 everyday and if we need she can also go to aftercare. I think she will love going and it will be a good adjustment for her before going into kindergarden. Now we just hope we don't get too attached to the school so that if we want to send her to public later we still can. That was the plan from the beginning since we have such a great school district! But, who knows where we will be and what the situation will be by then? For now I think we have made our decision after a lot of looking and comparing. Next its gonna be highshool! And I have a feeling it will be here before we know it!
