Oh What to Do?!

Here is a picture of Mardi on her first day of preschool - 18 months ago! Now I am trying to decide if I enroll Jack for the fall or not?!

He has one of those lovely birthdays that confuses the issue! Having been born in January leaves the question : do I start him in school (kindergarten) when he is 4 or 5? It is ok to start him in Foothills School Division at the age of 4 because their "cut-off" date is February 15th, but if we are to move south the whole thing changes! If he was to go to school in Nanton or Stavely he has to turn 5 before December 31, which means he stays home another year with me! Which is fine however if we do move south I think I need to get back to work!!! Cost of building another home will make me!!

However I don't want him to go to preschool for 2 years. Just my personal opinion but I don't think kids need that extra year of school. Ahhh! Better sit my husband down and make some "future" plans!!!

Tough decision to make for sure. Did she like Kids Are Special? My son is in the High River Nursery School right now and loves it.

My suggestion, having put Kloe in Hr Nursery school and then putting asher into Preschool in Spitzee, i think kids are special is great - i have heard nothing but amzing things. BUT if he is going to go to kindergarten in spitzee i suggest spitzee preschool, because they start the whole letter land thing in preschool and so when they get to kindergarten they are one up on others who weren't? And boys are better off staying behind! thats my 2 cents?
