It’s hard to think about next fall, with it being just the end of January but we attended a 4K information night at the boys’ daycare center last night. The 4K program is set up through our public school system and is held at numerous sites throughout the city – including our daycare center! That is so convenient because the boys will be in an environment that they already are comfortable in and we don’t have to worry about transportation to/from school.
They will go to 4K four days a week for 3 hours each day. This is to help prepare them for kindergarten the following year, although the curriculum in their current daycare class is doing a great of job this already!
Cory and I have talked a lot about this and have decided to split them up for the 4K program. Our center runs 2 sessions in the morning & 1 session in the afternoon, so we will put them both in the morning session with separate teachers. They will just be apart for 3 hours each day – which I think will be beneficial for both of them. Before and after 4K class, they will be together for breakfast, lunch & the afternoon in their regular daycare class.
There is a big debate in the world of parents of multiples on whether it is better to keep them together in the same class or to separate them at school. Some school districts even have general rules as to how they place multiples in classrooms. I have not done any research that far in advance yet to see if there is anything already in place in our school system, but we made this decision solely on giving our boys their “own” time for 3 hours each day and seeing how they learn/grown as individuals in that environment.
Now, onto filling out all that paperwork…x 2!!
