Why is it so much to think about when choosing a Kindergarten for Kayla?? Why can't I be satisfied with the one 2 blocks away that I could easily walk to? I want better for her.
The thoughts of sending Kayla to kindergarten has been a bit more stressful than I ever imagined. For the past few years I have heard really good things about San Diego Coopertive Charter School. So I assumed that is where she would go. I never knew the "luck" that was needed to get into some of these Charter Schools. Well....consider us lucky. Kayla was picked in a random lottery for one of 17 open Kindergarten spots. So we were extremely happy! End of story....NOPE.
I begin to realize the hours my daughter will be left in a teacher's hands. 1 of 20 kids that this teacher is supposed to manage, teach, guide and support. This seems like so much to expect from an individual. I can give her so much more.
I then learn about a new school opening up. Innovations Academy. Allows parents to choose between a 5, 3 or 2 day school model. Seems like they have an amazing design and hopes for their school. I was really impressed by the orientation we went to. It is a new school, just getting everything worked out. It makes me both excited and nervous to be part of a new school.
Now what??? Give up our spot at the Coop charter? Follow the typical 5 day school model? Take advantage of a new opportunity? I love having part in my child's education and dont believe they need to be gone all day! Im scared to give up a spot at a school I wanted her to be a part of....what if my decision is wrong? Yes I know its only kindergarten...
Ahhh....What does one do???
Happy Birthday Kayla!!!
