The new Spectrum!

So this is what I found today and where we have decided the kids will attend.

I went and toured yesterday and it really has everything I was looking for. It's time for the kids to be in "school" and not just at someone's house being watched. The curriculum here looks fantastic. I am a little disappointed that Mira won't get to go to the preschool I had originally picked for her, but I am excited about this new place. It didn't take long and this was the only place I went to, but it's difficult to find places that will do random days part time. At this place I just drop off my schedule and that works fine for them. The price is totally reasonable.

I think she's going to really enjoy learning in a new environment. It's very school-like. They have the same teacher every day and spend the entire time in their own classroom. G will have a different class than Mira and I think he'll really thrive there. It's going to be a big transition for them, but I think it'll be a good thing. My plan is to send Mira 3 days a week and Griffin 2 days a week. That means that occasionally (about once a month) we'll have to depend on family or other sitters to watch him when I work, but on the other weeks, I'll have one day a week to spend with just him and I. I am really excited about that- he loves his alone time with us!

So that's our news! We'll be starting some time in the middle of July. They get to do 2 free 1/2 days to ease into it which I think will be a great help! I'm going to take them there to see their classes before we start too.
