Last spring I began looking for a preschool program to enroll the girls in - one that would take Ella and Anne so baby Mary and I could have a little one-on-one. I quickly discovered I was a little late to the draw ... some four years too late ... and children have been on waiting lists since birth! Not to mention tuition is more than my college tuition (I guess the cost of glue and crayons has really sky rocketed?), and no one would take Ella and Anne at the same time (older kids and younger kids meet at different hours).
Well, we took the risk - and I am thrilled to report it was a wonderful experience! I would absolutely recommend it to any and everyone.
Then I stumbled upon the Capuchino High School lab preschool.
The good: close by (literally right down the hill), they had openings for both girls (at the same time! - though after the third day Anne refused to go, so this ended up being a non-issue), one-on-one ratio (if high schoolers count as teachers), and a reasonable preschool cost.
The bad: CA high schoolers in direct contact with our most precious assets ...
Well, we took the risk - and I am thrilled to report it was a wonderful experience! I would absolutely recommend it to any and everyone.
Excellent instruction.
