Phyical and then her screening and off to Kindergarden she will go......

I was excited for my kids everytime they start their school. Coz I want them to learn more and associate themselves with other kids. 3 out of 4 of my kids had difficulty being left in school. But after a week of them in school, they were able to handle being away with me. My youngest is now 8 years old and will be in 3rd grade this coming school year.

I used to work in a nursery, in fact it was part of my childcare course, did you know I am actually trained and experienced in looking after 0-8 year olds, I have my NVQ3. So I can see the children from the other side as it were, it's always sad seeing them start with you, you help educate them, then they move on, to another class, a step higher etc. Seeing how they change, usually they start off shy and find it a struggle to adapt to a different setting that they are used to and at the end the change in them is remarkable, you record it all of course, even in a short space as a term time you can see the changes, even if only small, they are all positive and wonderful to see and you feel a sense of achievement that you have contributed to their success.

My son just turned 4 last month. I have decided to let him home school, hence I will not be handling the first of school issue. His cousins at his age has started to go to kindergarten this year, they seem to enjoy in school very much, and the parents told me the kids learned a lot in school. I think my son will enjoy going to school, but he is happy learning at home with me too.
