My dd did not get accepted in this Reggio inspired preschool that I want her to go to. It's basically a superb school here in the Presidio with the best teachers, complete respect for the kids and lots of raoming space and creative energy. I somehow can't imagine anything else for her and I feel I let her down for applying late (she was 1.5 years when I applied). And it's only 5 min. walking distance through the woods to get there. I had heard that you need to sign up kids when they're born and I guess it's true. NOw I'm so sad, also for the lack of other preschools that would be great. I just don't want to send her to ANY WHATEVER school, just to get her in preschool, I want her to be taught in a loving and respectful manner with outdoor activities. Heck, they take kids to the museum and study Andy Goldsworthy!!
I'm expecting dd2 any day now and I feel just so sad that dd1 didn't get a good preschool spot. I really don't want to have to drive 20 min to get her to a school fight communter traffic and then sit somewhere in another part of town while she attends preschool for 3 hours.
I makes me feel like the bliss of early childhood is over and now we're entering this #%^ race for "who is best" and "can get ahead" by going to a good or bad preschool and the kindergarden. My dd is such a sensitive and smart spirit and sending her to a bad preschool could harm her spirit. Plus everything is so expensive here in SF, another preschool I looked at was $535 a month for two mornings a week!!!
: and they didn't even have any natural light come in their rooms! All flourescent!
