PreK

We enrolled Penny in a pre-K program for next fall. She'll be attending Park Memorial Methodist, Mondays-Thursdays from 8 to 12. There are no public-school preK's in Troy or Pike County. The only secular option is a local private school (of the no-people-of-color-allowed variety), but classes are all day, everyday, which we felt would be too much since she's never been to school at all. In fact, that's the main reason we are trying to send her to pre-K at all: the kindergarden options are all full-day no matter what, so we figured we'd better get her used to going part time this year. So, anyway, that left half a dozen or more choices of church schools, and we liked Park the best of the two we visited. I think she'll really like it there. Plus, her bff Ally will be going there next year too (although she'll be in the 3yo class). Park doesn't have a kindergarden though so we'll be going through the decision making process again next year. Joy.
