We'd been members since he was 18 months old. It was a little different, because it was entirely parent-run--no teacher--and each family had to work one shift a week, with two drop off days, but the idea is the same.

Our preschool teachers are so so so underpaid. We're back at a wonderful preschool situation; five kids in my girls' classroom.
