so, this morning i went and toured our local co-op preschool. it was a very nice place, very diverse in activities, parents and children. parker is now enrolled to start in september! she'll be going two days a week for two hours with either r or i attending with her the whole time.
the following year (assuming we like it) she'll be going three days a week and r or i will attend for one day. she'll go one more year (four days a week) since she won't make the state cutoff for kindergarten. in other words, she'll be five, almost six, when she starts kindergarten and her baby brother will (i think) only be two years behind her in school. she'll be old for her classes and he'll be on the young side, unless we decide to hold him back a year.
