Graysen and Ellie are doing the Peaceful Preschool this year for their learning and we love it. It's very gentle and a perfect introduction to learning time. I will start more kindergarten learning with Graysen next year when he 6. I have been reading more and more about waiting to introduce formal learning until age 6. I am compromising with a gentle introduction to learning. We started off really well with the letter A week. The kids responded well to their morning learning time and I am so happy about that. I am finding that if I am well prepared and ready to go first thing in the morning, then the kids are more excited to do their school time with me. My focus was just for Graysen to start the program but Ellie is jumped right in and wanted to tag along with big brother! :)
