Corbin started his first day of preschool at Acorn. I searched for the perfect preschool for Corbin and was having the hardest time since we are still so unfamiliar with Flagstaff. Places were either not good enough or just too expensive. I found a lady who did a Montessori program out of her home, but couldn't start for another month (my first day of school was today as well, so needless to say, we needed something sooner). I went into another in-home Montessori school (or so they say) and was not impressed. The problem with these in-home places are is they are swarming with babies and two-year-olds and that really isn't fair to Corbin now that he is 3 1/2 and really ready to learn. One of the parents at Tatum's school told us about Acorn and how their son went there and loved it. So we checked it out...we immediately knew this was the place for Corbin. At Acorn, they have converted a house into 3 classrooms. His teacher (Mrs. Jackie) has about 8 children in her classroom. She also has a full-time aid and another aid who floats in from time to time. It's a really neat program. He will go Tues and Thurs from 9-3:30pm while I am at Coconino. They are also one of the only accredited preschools in Flagstaff and all of the teachers at least have their Masters. His teacher is so loving, but structured and that is what we were looking for. Not to mention, the location is perfect since I will be going to two different campuses and it won't matter since it's smack in the middle. He will still qualify for free private speech therapy at Tatum's school twice a week. Other than that, he's doing phenomenal!
