We love our preschool (it's our parish school and goes 3yo preschool through 8th grade), but we also wanted the addition of a religious aspect to school. Our kids pray, learn prayers and the Bible and the Catechism, etc, which is pretty standard for classes in Catholic schools, so if you dont want that element, then it probably wouldnt be right for you. As far as time goes, we did 2 half days this year (3 years), and while I'd only planned to do 3 half days next year, the kids both beg to go every day so, in spite of the cost difference, we'll be doing 5 half days. There is a full day option, but I'm not ready for that. Kindergarten will be hard enough! (I'd initially thought that would be our first half-day, 5 days, but now I'm not sure if we'll keep that plan or do the 5 full days. Kindergarten isnt mandated here, so it is completely up to us).<br /><br />In your heart, you know the best place for your kids. If it is to stay with their little buddies, then it is, but if it isnt, then the other mom should understand that you are making a choice that is best for them and best for your family. Good luck!!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.com
