RE: Preschool for Cole

March 2, 2006

Rogena -

I just answered your preschool question - but I wanted to add one other

thing - Our pediatrician, who encouraged us to put the kids in

preschool, specifically told us to avoid church daycares (at church -

such as a Sunday school program). He said they are not cleaned as

often, or enough and no one is trained usually on child development and

health.

Preschool for Cole

Thanks to all of you who responded with feedback on the preschool

for PID children. I have many ideas and thoughts to mull over now.

After reading your comments, I think it is pretty clear to me that

Cole will probably NOT attend a preschool here. We just don't have

a facility where it is offered without the daycare setting. I am

blessed to be able to be a stay-at-home mom to my boys. I encourage

learning and try to expose my boys to various events. Currently I

am taking Cole and his younger brother to the local library weekly

for " toddler time " where he gets a chance to interact socially and

learn to follow other adults instructions. I would like to get him

involved in church, but I found that when we would go on Sunday, it

never failed, he was sick by Tuesday or Wednesday. It is bad enough

that the 4 year old brings home various illnesses from preschool, I

just don't want to add to the mix. I fear that I am turning into a

germ-aphobe!!! (My husband teasing me that I am.) I cringe in the

grocery store when I think about the carts (which I religously wipe

down), and walk by a child coughing in our direction or looking

rather pale and listless. AH, what a life with the PIDer! But, I

wouldn't trade my son for the world. I just can't say thanks enough

for your responses to my questions!!
