We went and looked at peanuts new day school Friday afternoon. It is about 4 blocks from my house, which is good, and they had an opening, even better. I do not want to leave her where she is now because I don't really like the way talk to the older kids and there are no windows in their room and they STILL haven't built a playground. Plus, they are VERY EVANGELICAL. Like, "I don't have to get a flu shot because the Lord told me I wouldn't get the flu if I only had faith" evangelical.
I don't know about the new day school. I hear it is good, although, the people that I know that have gone there have moved their children to a better school when one became available. The teacher seemed really nice and the staff seemed to have it together. But, they had one little crappy basket of toys for 6 kids. By basket I mean storage basket, not laundry basket. BORING. Although, they do take the kids out to the playground to play in the sun, which is something not all kids get to do.
The thing that really bothers me about the place is the food. Everything comes out of a can, so even the fruit is going to be in heavy syrup. They serve a lot of hot dogs and bologna and chicken fingers and stuff like that. IKES. So, it looks like I will be paying for food that Peanut won't eat because I am going to be sending her food as often as possible. Their snacks are also awful. They consist of graham crackers and juice and lots of other sweet stuff. The problem with sending food is that she is still going to be eating what other kids eat because they end up swapping food at the table.
I am going to look around and get on the lists for some other places. I think I will like this place when she gets into the older kid's rooms, but I have never really been that impressed with the infant and young toddlers rooms. We plan on having another kid, so I want to find a place that is good for older as well as younger kids. I don't think that will be easy because I have already looked at a bunch of places and hated pretty much all of them.

GOD told me that you will find another school. Also HE said disregard that last message on the flue shot. :-)
I love the flu shot thing! When Tess got hers my neighbor told me that her doctor said that her son (same age as Tess) didn't need a flu shot because she (his mom) had gotten one...not quite sure how that is going to work, last I checked they had different bodies...
