Early Childhood

Today Susan (our case worker from Birth to Three) and Theresa (our case worker from the school district) came by to help ease us into transitioning to the school system. When Jeremiah turns three, he is no longer eligible for services from Birth to Three. Luckily, his birthday is the week before school starts, so he doesn't have a "summer vacation" from speech therapy.

Jeremiah will be entering Early Childhood in the fall. He'll be one of six students in a class; there is a teacher, a teacher's assistant, as well as other helpers for the children (including a speech-language pathologist and an occupational therapist) who come in for parts of days. We get to choose how often he'll attend preschool, whether we'll put him on the bus (in a car seat, with other children attending his same school who are also in car seats), and what exactly we wish for him to learn while he's at school. I'm excited for more people to love him and be involved in his life.

I will be signing Isaac up for preschool in the fall as well. I think Jeremiah will go in the morning and Isaac in the afternoon, so I can spend time with each of them individually every day. And hopefully they'll get along better spending less time together, and learning that the rules we have for their behavior towards each other are consistent with their behavior to other children.
