Preschool

Last night my mom, Caitlynn, Jaimisen and I went to the Open House at Walnut Creek Christian Academy. This is the preschool that, ideally, I would like Jaimisen to go to. Carissa and Caitlynn, my cousins, both went there and had a good experience so I know I can trust the school. That's my main issue I guess. While Jaimisen is still little, I need to know I can trust where he is going to be all day. As he gets older, he will be able to tell me if bad things happen or what's going on at his school but while he's little, he won't necessarily do that.
Anyway, I loved it there. They had the gym filled with tables separated by grade. We went over to the preschool area and met one of the pre-k teachers. She showed us around all the preschool and pre-k rooms. She was VERY nice and Jaimisen LOVED every room he saw. He was in absolute heaven; tons of toys he has never seen before. The teacher just kept laughing at him because he had the biggest smile on his face and kept racing from one toy to the next. I swear he was just trying to make sure he touched everything at least once. Haha. I asked him if he liked it at the school and he said "YAAAHHH!!! I liiiiiiike it!" The teacher responded with "Good! I did my job!" Haha. Every time I asked him if he wanted to go to school there he responded with a big, Yes! I even asked him again this morning if he remembered the school we went to and if he wanted to go there and he said, "Yah. I go all by myself next time!" I explained to him that he was right! It would be just like his Church Class; I would drop him off and give him a hug and say bye, then he would play, then I would come back and get him later. He seemed excited about that. Haha.
They have two preschool classes; one for older and one for younger kids. The youngest they can be to start is 2 years, 9 months. Jaimisen will be 3 years, 3 months when he starts. The teacher that showed us around said he may start in the older preschool class. She said she wasn't sure of the exact cutoff months but the preschool director would be able to tell me. Then they go into pre-k when they are 4-5 years old. They have a daily schedule that's posted on the wall. They have the same schedule every single day which is good. There is even a nap included! They seem to have a really good schedule of the entire school year which, of course, I like :)
All in all, it went really well. Jaimisen has a beyond great memory of the school and I know he's really going to like it there.
