I'm looking forward to him learning how to read. I also hope he is excited about going to school and learning and I'm excited for the new friends he will make. He's the only one from his daycare going to his elementary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606214 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:51:23 +0000 Smurfette 2606214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: I see this side too. Having two drop offs in the morning and then finding coverage for all the breaks, days off, and summer is going to be a pain. While the savings will be nice, day care is so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606205 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:42:59 +0000 Truth Bombs 2606205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing. We'll have to do after care and we live in a district with a lot of SAHMs so I worry about her feeling badly that she doesn't get picked up at the same time as other friends :sad: She loves her day care and her friends there. I'm ok with the fact that it costs more than after care + summer camps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606193 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:33:30 +0000 mrsjazz 2606193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her elementary school is a few blocks from home and right across the street from the subway. So, looking forward to no longer having to take public transportation to and from school.</p> <p>We paid our last tuition bill/childcare bill in July and it felt great. LO starts UPK in September but we have to take 2 buses to her school for the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606191 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:31:47 +0000 Andrea 2606191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 started last year so I'm looking forward to DD2 starting next year. Kinder didn't seem all that different from preschool. I think the big changes will come this year, 1st grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606187 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:26:38 +0000 looch 2606187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really looking forward to the world language class he was going to have, I wanted to learn Mandarin! But that's not the language.</p> <p>I am looking forward to new experiences and new friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-look-forward-to-when-your-child-starts-k#post-2606059 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:00:00 +0000 mediagirl 2606059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look forward to no more daycare bills! Sure, we will have summer camps or track out camps and after care to pay for but it will be nothing like what we are paying for daycare right now. Hip hip hooray!!</p> <p>What do you look forward to when your child starts Kindergarten? </p>
