Preschool!?
Well we are trying to make a very important decision, weather to send Jada to preschool. We went to check out a preschool last night and we really like it. There were alot of positives concerning the place but we don't want to be to hasty in making these decisions. The teachers both have over 13 years of experience. We were concerned about how they handle the holiday's and they do things the same as we do. They celebrate the birth of Christ for Christmas and the Resurrection for Easter and we were very pleased with that. The price is reasonable and they do alot with the kids. There is a field trip once a month and they require that the parents go which is great because I would want to go anyway. And she would only go 2 days a week to sart so that is great. The one thing that makes us nervous is that it is in a church that is not The General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn. We did ask alot of questions about what they taught and it is education based not religious based and the only thing that they do concerning religion as far as teaching is they read 1 Bible story a month and they color a picture that goes with the story. And we feel like that would be OK but we just want to be sure so we have been praying about it and discussing it and tomorrow we have to decide because we have to get her enrolled so that she can start on Sept. 3rd. if we decide yes. So I will try to post again in the next few days to let you all know the decision that we make.

I will be praying for you guys in this. We went to Jonahs open house last night and they teach some of the things we don't around the holidays. So at least going to a church pre school they will teach them the truth. And waht holidays are suppose to be about.
Well I honestly can't answer your desicion for you. It is really scary because they could be teaching something misleading that may sound good, but really isn't, ya know? But you're praying about it, so I'm sure you'll know what to do. I know it's a tough decision, good luck with it all :)
This is a hard decision to make. I know it was hard for me when David went. We only did it because he had such high seperation anxiety, we wanted to slowly introduce him to being away from mommy. We did a lot of praying, checked out curriculum, AND I even spent the first 2 weeks in the room with him. Then I began to only spend half the time with him, and eventually left him the whole time. Let me tell ya, I think I was suffering as much as him! I cried that week that I finally left him there..lol. But every day when I dropped him off we stopped outside the doorway and prayed together. We'd even get on our knees and everything...he was so little and adorable...I'm a bit sobby from the memories... Then after we prayed, his very awesome and loving teacher would put her watch on his little wrist so he could see when it was time to be picked up (even though he had no clue what the watch really said) and she'd fly him in like superman...I still see Miss Stacy from time to time and David still goes up to her and hugs her. Now that you've gotten to take a walk down memory lane with me (tee hee),
I would suggest making your presence know from time to time, continue in prayer even with her, and keep her home if you're at all iffy about that days curricullum. Love You! Jana
