We made it!
About a month ago, I filled out a preschool application for B.Bean to attend Hope Preschool, which is a really great school just 2 blocks from our house. I’ve heard a lot of great things about it and we went on the tour of the school. It’s a great place, the staff was awesome and they have a special program that B.Bean would be in called the “Gift of Timers” which is basically kids who have made the cutoff for Kindergarten but are not starting this year.
I’ve heard from several people that it’s a hard school to get into. Basically, they choose students from a lottery instead of the first come first serve and no one (except for students returning) are guaranteed a spot. All of B.Bean’s friends had applications there and while 2 of them were returning (so guaranteed a spot) one of them did not make it. :( I was bummed to hear that because that would have been nice. I did not put applications in anywhere else, so this was basically his only chance of going to a school. I went by today to give them a copy of his birth certificate and to sign some papers. I also requested to switch schedules if any space opens up for the morning classes. Right now we got picked for the afternoon classes, so hopefully something will open up. If not, it’s fine! I’m just glad he got in!
