Preschool Application Season is here! The competition is ruthless, as there are only 4-5 spots in the 3-year-old class at each school for next year.
We have been busy going to Open Houses, Classroom visits, and filling out and sending in applications to all of the cooperative pre-schools in the area.
This all reminds me so much of applying for college, it's almost silly. For instance, many of the classes choose their students by gender, race, and age, trying to find a nice balance of each. (I'm not so sure that isn't reverse discrimination, but for now, we won't complain lest we are deemed "unsuitable" for attendance.)
Thank goodness we got into one of our favorite schools already! (They were nice enough to choose by lottery, and I happen to be a generally lucky/blessed person.) Now, we are just waiting to see if we got into the Purple House, our all-time favorite, as well as the favorite of most of the girls in our playgroup.
Whew! The Pressure!
