oh wow Erin! We have had 2 orientation sessions (an hour each) and all 4 teachers were there. We find out who DD gets in a couple of weeks.

We bought the school bag. The only thing we are letting her have as free choice are her art smock and library bag. I still have to buy her white socks and school shoes (waiting until closer for that because she grows like a weed!). On the subject of socks - where does one purchase plain white socks for an almost 5 year old?!

My Three Sons - I absolutely agree with you about the cost savings!!!! Even with out of hours care, we end up in front!!!!

What are your little ones looking forward to the most? DD is looking forward to music classes, art classes, and running around in the play ground
