Postpone

For those of you not in my immediate circle, you may not have heard yet. We are in fact postponing the opening of our little venture here until March 2011. Instead of leading with the K-8 school, we open the Adult and Family Professional Development Center first. This development is due to several things, but mostly due to the building we are hoping to be in. It needs a Conditional Use Permit and that takes time. Since we won’t know about the permit for sure until July, we can’t possibly start a school in September.

So, one more year of school for my little one in another setting, one more year of my husband in a job he likes, but that does not feed his soul and one more year of precious time with my littlest one before I am back to work full time. Although I have to say that starting a project of this magnitude, having an 8 month old and a 4 year old and being involved in a cooperative preschool pretty much takes up all my time.

I was a little disappointed at first, but honestly I think it is really the right choice. There is plenty to do in the meantime. Gives me more time to read about Reggio Amelia for example, what an amazing place that seems to be, and plan my classroom. More time to watch the spring explode around me and remember that life’s one consistency is change.
