The tour was great! We loved it and even talked with the director about enrolling Bennett in January if possible. She was very positive and encouraged us to complete the application paperwork and find out what our obligation to The Lab School was regarding withdrawal.
Brian and I had a very long conversation about the pros and cons (really, not a lot of cons!) and decided to bite the bullet. I dropped the application off at the Montessori school this morning, and then sent an email to the admissions contact letting her know that we were serious, and needed to move quickly due to a deadline of November 30 for letting TLS know that we were going to withdraw. She called me within half an hour to let me know that Bennett was accepted for a January start!
Such a relief to know that we don't have to think about school for him again for a very long time. I have a very good feeling about how much he's going to like being in such an enriching environment. I'm also encouraged to think about how we can use Montessori ideas to organize and enrich our home life too. Yay! This is a great birthday present, this sense of peace.
