Preschool

Hi Gigi! My son is 17 months old and I’ve been a SAHM since then. It’s normal to feel that way especially first time moms like us. I just started to think all the positive thoughts that him going to school is good for him. I did. We did and we are all fine. I am excited for him to meet new friends, socialize and learn new things.

I get how your feeling 100% My son isn’t in school yet but he goes to speech therapy twice a week for 45 mins on his own. He’s also non verbal, autistic. The way he acts when I tell him it’s time to go bye bye, most days he doesn’t want to leave. That’s how I know he’s enjoying his time. Maybe you could start out leaving her for 20 mins, then 30 mins then 40 mins. Each time up the time your gone. Sounds hard as a mom but you got this! My child is starting preschool this year but it’s only like 3-4 hrs a day. I’m actually looking forward to getting a few hours to myself a day! It will be nice for me since I’m a single mother.

Hi there. My son is 17 months and has been going to daycare since he was 5 months old. That first week was really rough and the anxiety was hard. But I saw how much he enjoyed it over time and now he just waves bye and goes straight to his friends. We have our ups and downs with daycare but I see how well socialized he is and I remember how much it's helped him. He learns a lot there and I'm surprised he hasn't learned any bad habits yet. I try to think of all the positives and honestly I think it makes me be a better mom too because I can provide so much more for him.

I have a 3.5yr old and 17mo. 3yr old started preschool part-time in August and she's learned so much. She is thriving with all the social interaction. I don't regret it a bit. I'm actually a little nervous about summer vacation. She's going to miss her teacher, friends and routine.
