Poker Hill School

Elijah begins preschool next year. He has been on the "waiting list" at Poker Hill School in Underhill since before his 1st birthday. When we received notification that he did get a spot, I signed him right up for the 1-week summer camp that begins on July 18. Elijah's a bit of a creature of habit, and is somewhat anxious about attending Poker Hill School. He's asked several times if I will be staying there with him. I thought it would be a good idea to swing by the school a couple times before summer camp week, since the building and grounds are always open. This will hopefully help Elijah feel a little more comfortable and confident as that week approaches.. I mean, seriously- look at this place. What kid wouldn't want to go here? I want to go here.

Bikes, trikes, trucks and balls:Checking out the playground:




It was a huge success. We got to visit with one of the directors, David, and really give the place a good old-fashioned shakedown. Elijah even said to me, "Mama, I LOVE it here."

So glad that Elijah is feeling more comfortable with the idea of a new preschool. With all the animals, bikes, and digging equipment, I am not surprised!

Did I notice he is sporting a new summer haircut?

Glad to see that Elijah is feeling better.

That looks like a really fun school -Lots of nature. Do the students get to work with the animals?

I bet he can't wait to go there now.
