DYK it is the priciest of the 3 options.


DYK it's also the best option.


DYK the middle priced option is not really an option - it's just the Private christian school and they run their pre-K like their Kindergarten - LOTS Of sit down time.


DYK the cheapest option is along the lines of a daycare that is seeking to be an accredited preschool and eventually grow to an accredited SCHOOL having infant - 3rd.


DYK snack time would pose a problem as parents each have a week and they send whatever. Abigail cannot eat "whatever"

DYK turns out the director of the montessori school knows me mom as well as Abi's OT. And when my mom was in the office at church (She works there) talking about Abigail to her current preschool director, the montessori director (a mamber of said church) was also there and small small world... she had heard OT talk of Abigail (in general terms) lol and said YEAH, she would be great there.


DYK Thus the ball was rolling.

DYK - have you worked with your school system to see if they will help pay for that, especially if there is an OT on staff?

DYK I don't know if she qualifies for OT through the school system.


DYK last year she didn't qualify for speech - which is all that is offered to a child like Abigail (she has SPD but is not on the autism spectrum) for the pre-K program.


DYK I don't know how it all works exactly, b/c she gets her OT through the county program and until now, that was working out.


DYK it's still working out, but we're just shifting around for school.


DYK I intend to ask these questions and more to my OT and to the director of the montessori school when we officially begin the pre-K registrations in early Feb.

DYK what you said about speech/autism is the same around here.


DYK she's not technically in EI anymore, but the OT works out of the EI program under a grant that allows her to see children up to 18 years old.


DYK we were in EI from 19 mos old to 3 yo when she transitioned out of speech and into the OT program we're in now.


DYK my gut feeling is that we're on our own via school system but we can keep her in OT as long as it's working... literally years and years.

DYK I know that you can now register to vote right when you go, so you don't have to pre-register. Maybe it was the same for the caucuses??


DYK it's pathetic how little I know about it all, considering I live in the middle of it?


DYK I'm just glad all the damn political ads and phone calls have stopped!!!
