Preschool

Ok, so we have decided to put Kaiden into preschool full time in the event he would be ready for Kindergarten next year. We are struggling with whether or not to put him into Kindergarten next year because his birthday is so close to the deadline. His birthday is August 13th and the deadline is probably like September 1st. We don't wanna put him in before he's ready but we also don't want to wait a year if he would have been fine with starting at 5.

So in the event he may be ready next year we have put him into preschool fulltime. We asked him what he wanted to do and he actually wants to be going to school everyday instead of going to his Nannys. He is such a social kid that he just thrives on that time he can spend with other kids. It will be a change for him since he's used to going to Nannys 2 days a week and it will also be a big change for Nanny not to have him there but we are hoping this is the best thing for him.

I guess you never really know, though. You try to do everything right for your kids but every decision has the potential to be the wrong one. So in the end, we have, for the time being, decided on preschool fulltime and to take him to Kindergarten registration next year and see what those teachers think. I mean, I am a teacher but I'm NOT a Kindergarten teacher. If he's ready we'll start him when he's 5. If not, no biggie we'll start him when he's 6. I guess, really there's no for sure way of knowing whether he's ready or not. He's a bright kid, I think, but I'm also biased.

If anyone has any thoughts on the issue, comments would be greatly appreciated. Well, thanks for reading!
