Sariah Is Going To Preschool

About 4 months ago I registered Sariah and Rebekah for Preschool. We recently found out that Sariah has been accepted, I was hoping that they would both go together and now I’m not too sure about sending Sariah to preschool especially since it starts at 8 am!
At 8 in the morning I’m usually lying down nursing Miriam while Sariah and Rebekah fight over who gets to lay down on the other side of the baby. It would be good for us to get up early as a family together even if we do end up homeschooling. I would love for us to cook breakfast besides having oatmeal or cereal everyday as well as pray as a family before school and work.
There are a few things I already don’t like about the preschool but I’ll give it a chance. I’m pretty sure that they won’t be doing any holiday activities like making recycled Christmas cards or painting Easter Eggs. When I was a preschool teacher some of the teachers were overly cautious about holiday activities where they would tell other teachers they shouldn’t be having the kids cut out star shapes during the Christmas season I thought that was going too overboard – hopefully Sariah’s teacher’s aren’t like that. Another thing I find weird is that they have this parent volunteer form and even taking your own child to the dentist, reading books to them or brushing their teeth is counted as volunteering. That is not volunteering – it is parenting!
Sariah met her teachers today and they said that there is still a chance that Bekah will get in. I hope so because Bekah would really miss Sariah.

I think Sariah will enjoy going to preschool.
About the parent Volunteering, sadly some parents don’t know how to parent. I’m not sure about the head start schools in Utah, but with the ones here alot of the parents fit into that category.
