Change, Change


After a year at her last school, Carly just switched to a new school that we feel is more equipped to facilitate her growth and development. This was a tough choice because she was used to the routine at her last school and, of course, the staff there really knew her and loved her. But she was bored there, and the staff turnover there was ridiculous (although it had somewhat stabilized the last month...the last month!) Her teacher, before she left for another job, told us that there was nothing more in the curriculum that she could teach Carly because Carly was already far beyond the class level. We tried to work out a progressive approach that would allow the teachers to teach Carly the three-year-old curriculum while in the two-year-old class because they wouldn't let her move up. But after her teacher left it seems all was forgotten. We finally had enough about a month and a half ago when Carly mentioned that she didn't want to go to school. We decided to move her to a different school and were really excited about the one we chose.

Of course it helps that Carly REALLY enjoys her new school, new school activities and new teacher. She also has a few old friends there from her last school. So far, we are impressed and we think that Carly will do very well there.
