PRESCHOOL!!!

Putting Grace in preschool has been on my mind for a while now. Especially after she turned 3. I started realizing how she needed it for the teaching as well as for many other reasons. I also KNEW she was SO READY to go. She had been asking a lot lately about going to school. Financially, it has still been so hard since we got here. So come August, we realized we would have to seriously check our options. Needless to say, we are THRILLED with the opportunity Grace was given to go to St. Luke's (Episcopal) Day School. They had a Mon, Wed., Fri. open in her age class and we really could only do a 2 day and wanted Mon. and Fri. They administrator was gracious enough to allow us to do that, with the hopes that we will be able to move Grace to the 3 day program sooner than later. Not only this, St. Luke's was one of our top two places we liked in Hot Springs. The other one.. had a waiting list AND St.Luke's waived all the fees (which would total $215.00!!!) to start her in the program, and with the help of Mom we were able to go ahead and get her started. :) I am amazed at God's provision in this, and how He has worked out all the details!

We also LOVE her teacher (Ms. Ballard)! We met her on our tour of the place. We both liked her a lot from the very beginning. She seemed great with Grace and you could tell she goes ALL OUT when it comes to her room, her organizational skills, her ideas, all the little details that make Grace's and all her kid's day special. It is very OBVIOUS she puts A LOT into her job! We are grateful! All of the staff has been great!

Grace ADORES school too! She can't wait for her school days to get here. She has already met some special little friends and is doing so well. We are proud to see that she is quickly adjusting to the schedule and even napping at school. She also gets to eat breakfast and lunch at school on her school days.
