Been worried about our decision to send dd1 to mainstream kindy and was worrying it was too much for her along with sn kindy mornings. Well - no worries now.
Took her from Sn kindy morning to mainstream kindy for her afternoon and she got so excited as well pulled into the car park - her legs went mad and she started squealing with delight and clapping her hands together.... the minute I got her out of the car - she ran towards the gate and was shaking it to tell me to hurry up and open it.
The kindy teachers tell me she is doing really well - she is very good at settling down for story time and sitting nicely for carpet/circle time, and at snack and lunch time.....
I got a bit teary the other day - when I dropped her off at the afternoon stay - the chidren were about to have story time and dd1 went straight to the carpet and sat nicely with her legs crossed and her hands in her lap [sniff!!]
The teachers are all keen to learn makaton - have given them my book and info and they are teaching themselves signs as well as giving up a weekend to attend a course.
I am not worried about kindy and dd1 anymore. It really makes life so much easier when things work doesn't it.
