Nicole, it all just sort of fell into place. My friend wanted to homeschool her child, but in a montessori environment with a few other kids. She thought about doing it, asked around to see if any other moms and kids were interested, and within a month she had everything all set up. i feel very lucky to have this opportunity for Sarah.
Is your LO going to be attending PreK or Kindergarten this fall? Public or Private School? Not sure yet. We'd like to have Lily tested for early entry to kindergarten, which we can't do until next month. If we end up with that it would be public school. Otherwise she'll continue with Pre-k that she's already in at daycare
Full or Half day and how many days a week?
Full days, five days a week
How will they be transported?
If she does kindergarten, she could take a bus. If still in Pre-k then I'd drive her
What does it cost you?
Free for public kindergarten. We pay $1200/month for both girls at daycare full time, but will have a discounted rate when I go back to part time hours 7 months of the year.
Will there be additional child care or after care? If so what's the additional cost? If we do kindergarten then yes we would need after care for the 4 months that I work full time.
[B]Will they be packing lunch/snacks or does the school provide or offer them?[/] We would have to pack lunch for kindergarten, but daycare includes lunch and snack
