This past Monday marked a first for many years to come, Abby started pre-pre school. She is attending TLE and they provide a full day curriculum program for all age groups. Many different things of TLE made it easy to choose it for our little Abby.
Each classroom is based on age and progress.
She is in the Preppers room which is all 2.5-3 year olds that are fully potty trained. Because she is at TLE from about 8am-5:30pm it makes for a very full day of fun for her. Several of the kiddos in her class stay all day (arriving before her and leaving at the same time/later), so this also makes for a good environment for Abby.
They have several activities scheduled for each day including arts and crafts, outdoor time, motor/math (counting), language and music time. We have made it 3 days this week with 2 good days and one day of a little separation anxiety and will make it 2 more.
Interactive and supportive staff help both Abby and us transition into this new routine. Mommy tries not to call often and has only called on day one for an afternoon check up and on day 3 because there were Abby tears in the morning. Both phone calls allow us to speak directly with the teacher/assistant in the room to get a 'real time' update.
While the first day had mommy in tears and the third day had Abby in tears, we do know this is the best place for Abby during this time of our lives. She will learn a lot and have lots of fun doing just that. Stay posted for many, many more fun school updates.
