I have gone sometimes and not others. I went more before Sadie started school, more to meet the ladies in my neighborhood than anything. Also, Sadie got know a few more kids that would be in her class. It was kind of an introduction to the school system for me. <br />I don't feel I need that anymore, and I do just as cool or more cool projects at home so I stay home.Janhttp://amongthesehills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-65494652997096369232010-04-11T14:02:41.787-05:002010-04-11T14:02:41.787-05:00like i said, i love my friends!!like i said, i love my friends!!ethiopifinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804387023386303505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-83168432144814682132010-04-10T00:10:42.590-05:002010-04-10T00:10:42.590-05:00Wow, I'm surprised that you've been pushed...Wow, I'm surprised that you've been pushed twice to join ECFE! No one has ever asked me, nor have we ever attended. My kids would probably have fun, but they seem to be growing up just fine. Your children will be just fine if they never get there either. And, if you ever do go, I'm sure they will enjoy it. I can see how it would give a little excitement to the week.

I used to live in Menahga and did participate there because 1)it was free for everyone and 2)many kindred spirits attended with me so the parents time was helpful and aimed towards my kind of mothering.<br /><br />I don't think that children really NEED preschool. They may be ahead of non-preschool kids initially, but my kids have always caught up by 1st grade if not sooner. I feel blessed to be at home with my kids and think they have more than enough years of school ahead of them.Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825412793517402149.post-37970255356437234812010-04-08T13:16:45.809-05:002010-04-08T13:16:45.809-05:00Unstructured play is wonderful for children.
