PreSchool

Today, Steve and I took DJ to visit a preschool at the St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lutherville.  Nadia and Jeff had taken Grace to see it, and she seemed to really like it.  Since we would like to keep the kids together as long as we can, thought it would be a great opportunity to enroll them together.

When we got into the classroom, DJ immediately wanted to go explore and play.  First he went to the Lego table.  Then he saw the boys playing on the floor, building some monstrosity with blocks, and he wanted to jump right in and build with them.  And when it was time to leave, DJ didn't want to leave.  "I want to stay here at the school!"

The classroom was full of things to explore, including a reading corner, an instrument corner, legos, blocks, crafts, stamps, you name it.  There was art all over the walls, and all sorts of things to see and do; I honestly can't remember all of what I saw because there was so much! 

I asked how much theology there is, and there really isn't that much.  They will say a prayer every day before snack and the Pastor will come in once a month with his guitar, sing songs and tell them a Bible story.  I'm game for that.

And next year, one of the Kindergarten teachers will be moving down into the preschool so likely, there will be a little more structure in terms of traditional education. 

It all sounds good, and DJ really seemed to like it!  We'll coordinate putting down a deposit with the Cheevers and go from there.
