Anybody starting Kindergarten this Sept?

Posted in

Hi everybody......this is my first time using ths site.

I hope I know how to do this! hahaha! Well I live in Tacoma, WA and my daughter will be starting Kindergarten this Sept. yikes!!!! Well, I am also a licensed home child care provider...newly....We are really really wanting to have a child here close in age to my daughters for a playmate!

She gets along great with kids....currently we have a 2 yr old so it's kind of difficult for her to actually play with him. It breaks my heart that I will be bringing her to Kindergarten while i stay home and watch other kids. I feel that if she had someone she clicked with, it would make this whole child care business be ok. I know I am rambling. Basically, I am wondering if anybody had any advice how to handle these heartbreaking feelings I have...the guilt.......or if anybody knows of anybody who needs child care who lives in Tacoma, wa!

Thanks so much!

Hi, I'm new to this site. My son is 5 years old he's autistic and been with the same teacher sense he was 3.He's doing great there. But next year he has to go to another school for 1st grade.I would like to know how some of the special ed classes are in other schools. If anybody knows please let me know.They will suggest a school in May but I'd like to get a head start on checking schools.

Hi, I'm new also. :)
My 5 year old twins just finished their second week of Kindergarten!
I suppose school start early here in Colorado.

Are you looking for someone for her to play with who is also in Kindergarten?

If you don't mind me asking what school will she be starting in? Our family is military and we moved here in May of 07, and our oldest son will be starting school in September also! His elementary will be Dower. And you shouldn't feel guilty. She is going to love kindergarten, it is the start of their independence! But I know the nervous feeling, I have to admit that I am scared for my lil man to start school, but I am so excited for him at the same time!! I also have a 3 year old, and I believe that he is going to be absolutely lost without his big brother being home with us all day. But I know that it will all be fine!! Good luck!!

My son started kindergarten in August he was doing great the first week, but now he is crying to stay home with me, this is the first time. Learning wise he is very smart and learns quick. The seperation seems like it make take some time. He is attending a private school, he missed the cut off date at a public school by 16 days. I hope I made the right decision and I hope he gets past the seperation. It's very heartbreaking for me since he is the baby in the family. I know it's to soon to tell if he will get over it since it's the 1st time it was difficult to get him to school. When will I know to pull the plug and start him next year. Any advice will ease my worrys thanks.

Hi I'm new to the site too! My twins Emily & Abby will be starting kindergarden and I'm freaked out! sorry i spell it kindergarden because my kids call it kindergarden :-)
