I can't imagine my baby going to school by herself. I asked if the class allows parent participation but she wasn't sure and said when I go to tour the school in a couple of months I could ask the teachers. <br />I have heard a little about difficulties with the schools not cooperating with parents ( I'm the President of our local DS Foundation, don't ask me how I got myself into that!) I have had some parents call me with concern and I refer them to the attorney who works for our Regional Center, they are who set up all the therapists. The Regional Center has its own department and attorney that advise parents of all their rights and different ways of handling situations with the school i.e. having her attend fewer days.If your center offers that its worth a shot to ask! I hope everything turns out well!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025714894538651088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40706272351270815.post-91270969024925653592010-08-16T14:28:05.654-04:002010-08-16T14:28:05.654-04:00We have not hit the "developmental preschool&...We have not hit the "developmental preschool" age with whitney yet (she turns two next week) but i think i have heard, at least here (IN) that you can choose to send them fewer days to the dev. preschool - it is offered 4 mornings here but I think you can choose less (not positive... we will find out in about a year) - maybe you could talk with someone in the school system about your feelings/reservations and see if she could have a modified schedule for this year??? good luck!Anne and Whitney: Up, Down and All Aroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206805918442920595noreply@blogger.com
