Need some help from parents who went through this already. Mini-Ram is about ready for pre-k. I've started looking and the prices seem a bit on the high side (even for NYC). What's the typical cost per month/year for pre-k?

We paid about $51/day.

$51/day?! Holy crap.

our school district offered a half day pre-K program which was no cost (property taxes). The private half day pre-k we also looked at through one of the churches was like $65-$70 a month plus a $50 regristration fee plus a $25 snack fee . The daycare we use offers a "Preschool" program during the school year that was included in the normal daycare price of $21 a day.

Yup. This is why we only did 2 days/week.

Where are you located? Guess I'll have to look around more, though I doubt I'll find anything as good a deal as this.

I had to deal with my first broken heart as a dad a couple of nights ago. We've been going to a couple's small group on Mondays at church, and the kids are all kept by a couple of babysitters during the 2 hours we are there. Mini-ble2, my daughter, has two girls her age in the group that are great friends, but evidently over the past few weeks they've been "fighting" over one of the boys. Last week mini-ble2 came home super excited because she was going to marry said boy because of the MASH game that they played (do ya'll remember that? I can't believe they still play it!). She's been telling my all week that he's going to be her husband (or huzzun as she says it). On Monday she was excited to go to the group and it seemed that they were having a good time playing outside, but once the adults finished up and went to get the kids, we found a dejected little girl in the nursery! She was heartbroken because one of her friends and the boy she was going to marry got "married" that night. It was pitiful and it broke my heart to see her that sad. I had to talk to her that night and tell her that they were just playing and that she has nothing to worry about because it's going to be a LOOOONNNNGGGG time before she's going to get married. That seemed to help out a bit, but she's 4 years old, I'm not supposed to be dealing with broken hearts yet!

As a father of a daughter, I still say we whip this kids ass, and any of his friends just so that they all get the message!

 

[matt267 PE]

I like RG's idea. Where does this "boy" hang out?

[Ble_PE]

I've been telling Mrs. ble that I have to get me a shotgun before mini-ble2 gets to dating age...

 

[SNAPE/SMOTT PE]

Aww, poor kid! Good thing is, there are ways to cheer up a 4 year old. Hope her heart mends quickly.

 

[MA_PE]

Two words. Ice cream. There all better.

Today is NJ #2's bday. Can't believe that this kid is 4 already.

 

[MA_PE]

Happy b-day NJ#2. What's the party theme?

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Gonna guess Star Wars (if Mike has his way).
