We have a short vacation planned for mid september. DS1 starts pre-k on the 7th of September, so he will end up missing 3 days of school about a week in. When I originally scheduled it I was thinking that it really wasn't a big deal but now I am wishing that I hadn't scheduled it at this time. He adjusts pretty well to things and this is his 2nd year of preschool. It's a 5x weekly program so he will miss a Fri, Mon and Tues. No big deal right? If I cancel or reschedule we will lose money and everyone is really excited about it.
Re: Second guessing a decision I've made.
Not a big deal at all. Esp. since it is his second year of preschool. If it was his first year I'd say no just because the first couple of weeks they're all learning routine & such, but you guys should go & not think twice about this!!
Thanks for all the input. I talked to DH and we are going to keep our plans, which I am excited about!
Jlw- it is all new kids, they don't have a 3's program. It did take him about a good month to really get the hang of his first preschool experience, but it was only 2x weekly and he hadn't had any experience with classes without me before. He has grown SO much since then and adjusts very well in most situations and makes friends pretty easily so I am hoping this won't be a problem for him. I mean, kid's will be out sick and stuff in the beginning of the school year, it happens, right? But I hear you about groups being established during this time...
