I am a single mom and my son is 36 months, and has been in foster care for a year now.

He will be returned to me by the summer. The CPS worker is not concerned about his being in preschool til he's 4 or 5. The foster mom refuses to potty train him. He doesn't know his letters, numbers, or colors, and avoids books like the plague. I am very low income, and am told he cannot go to Head Start because he has too many visits with me a week (3). And once he's back with me, the state will not pay for it because he's no longer in foster care. I am worried about him not learning anything, and being held back when he does start preschool, because he won't be ready for kindergarden. What options if any do I have to secure him a good foundation and a bright future in life? Also, I will be working when he is returned to me, is it realistic to think about homeschooling as an option as a single parent. And/OR are there any private schools in the Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco are that will work with my income level? Thank you
