We absolutely made the right decision with moving Hayley to another pre-school. We took her to tour the new school Friday afternoon before we take her there on Monday and when we walked in the door the director greeted her by name right off the bat.
I love that.
You should have seen the look on Hayley's face when we toured her classroom. It was actually after "school" was over for the day so the children that are there for extended care were already moved to another area but Hayley looked around her classroom in wonder at all the art, colors, and toys they had there. I was excited for her just by watching how excited she was!
We walked through the entire school and showed Hayley the awesome playground this new school has. The old school had not one patch of grass for the older kids to play on- there was only a small grass area for the babies. The new school has several grassy areas, a sandbox to die for, and lots of playground equipment. There are also tricycles for the kids to ride on recess. When we left my heart was full. I knew that the circumstances that brought us to this school were just meant to be.
Which leads me to my next realization. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I was heartbroken over the situation with Ms. G but it spurred me into action and look- my child is actually going to be in a better place than before. It is tough sometimes to understand why things happen- but once they are done we all go through that "aha!" moment.
Oh yes, now I see the big picture!






So glad it is all working out! I too believe that all things happen for a reason...I am just glad that you found the reason so quickly! Love the "aha" moments! Happy first day of a new school Hayley!!!!

I too believe that everything happens for a reason! I'm so happy for you and Hayley! We're hoping to get Younger Boy signed up at a preschool run by our city next week.
