Big Red School

Tyler had his orientation with Big Red School at WKU yesterday. They seem very prepared and equipped to deal with Tyler's diet and behavioral issues. He only got upset once during the session. When he had to leave the train set to work on puzzles, he was not so happy. They were firm and consistent though and made him work for a "break". By the end of the orientation, he was cooperating. They will teach him to sit in circle time, play one on one in center time, and hopefully eat with other children without stealing food. They have 7 adults to 12 children in that room, and they seem to devote a lot of attention to the kids on special diets at snack time. They also have an observation room for parents. We are very excited about all this for Tyler. The icing on the cake is the fact that they were practically foaming at the mouth to get Jesse in their preschool classroom. They needed typical children for modeling, and Jesse just happened to be a polite, respectful Einstein while we were there. We will be paying nearly nothing for Jesse to go two days a week this spring and summer. This should be a great warmup before kindergarten next fall. It will also give mom a little bit of solitary cleaning time each week :) It seems like a win, win situation for everyone.
