Our youngest two had their very last day of preschool on Friday. We had gotten a shocking notice from the YMCA a little over a month ago that our preschool was closing down at the end of June. The parents banded together, met with the management, and tried to convince them to stay open. Unfortunately the plan did not work. The enrolment was well below capacity, and had been for years. With most parents choosing full day daycares, more and more half-day preschools like the Y's were closing their doors.
So with heavy hearts, we headed to class one last time. The teachers had only found out about the closure one week before the parents, and they too were shocked and saddened. While our girls will miss their friends and educators, the memories will certainly endure.
I spent several weeks researching alternative preschools for the next scholastic year. We decided on a school just a few minutes from our home, an thankfully a few of our friends from the Y will be joining us.
