LO is only 10 weeks old, we have a ways to go until preschool time. But all the Bento posts got me excited for when he's old enough haha!
I started looking into preschools in our area. There are a few really nice Montessori schools that i would love for him to have the option to go to, but they are almost twice the price of the local Catholic and Lutheran preschools. We're neither Catholic OR Lutheran lol
Did you send your LO to a "religious" daycare that wasn't your affiliation? How did you decide on a daycare? Money, program, etc.

I think it will depend where we are in three years. If I'm working, we'll be able to afford the Montessori preschool I love.

How much are the preschools in your area? For the Montessori school is about $370/mo, M-F 8:30-11:30. And for the lutheran preschool it's a little over $250 for 5 day, but only $125-$160 for 2-3 day program. The Montessori doesn't even seem to have the option for a 2-3 day program, which seems like a really busy week for a three year old!
