Q. I have a very active and social 9 month old. I currently stay home with him but I really feel like he needs more. I have found a "School" that he could attend from 2-5 times a week from 830-230. They are in session like a regular school year and do their best to mimic a school. EX: 1 year olds have lunch boxes and backpack,, so cute! Anyway I have the opportunity to work there as well. However I would have to work the 5 days but he could go as many as he wanted and be with daddy at home the rest of the day and we would both be off durning the summers. My question is would I get tired of taking care of other kids and then my guy at night. Or would it just be a job.
The pay is not much but enough for extra spending and his school would be 1/2 off.
Good or bad idea
Oh yeah, his "school year" would begina in Sept. He would be 14 months by then.

I worked in a daycare and honestly whenever a teacher had their children at the school they worked in it always lead to trouble. And yes you will get tired at the end of the day and not have as much to give to your son (unless you are very energetic). It would probably be fun at first but you're not thinking about all the responsibilty that comes with helping to raise/teach other people's children. Good thought but I think I'd have to vote bad idea. Also most likely you will not get 100% free tuition just because you work there and most likely he will not be allowed to be in the class you teach in. It's great that your son is so super active, if you can afford it get him involved at a baby gym (I go to Gymboree) and programs at the YMCA or participate in free activies at your library or local Barnes and Noble, they both have free programs for young children. I mean if you need the money it does seem like a good opportunity but if you can get by without I think your son's first year will probably be the most magic and rewarding time for him (they learn so much the first year!) and you'll miss all your one on one time with him.

My son is starting Kindergarten this fall and I love to shop! I'm in Wisconsin so he doesn't need any shorts because it will be cold here by September but if you're in a warmer area then I'd buy a few pairs with elastic waists so he doesn't have to worry about buttons, snaps and zippers. That's the main thing to focus on with school clothes- practicality! We don't want them to have to constantly ask the teacher for help when there are 20 kids in the class. I've actually already bought most of his clothes- I buy everything at the end of the season on clearance for the next year. So far he has...
8 pairs activewear pants & matching long-sleeved shirts from Gymboree, like these- http://www.gymboree.com/shop/dept_category.jsp?productSizeSelected=0&pageClicked=0&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374305611191&bmUID=1217005425152 These are my favorite because they're cute, comfortable & easy for him to put on/take off.
4 pairs of athletic pants in different colors with 4 athletic tops to match from K-mart.
2 pairs of casual cargo/climber pants -like these http://www.landsend.com/pp/OpenBottomCargoClimberPants~146357_1188.html?bcc=y&action=order_more&sku_0=::VNO&CM_MERCH=IDX_00003__0000000328&origin=index
4 pairs of jeans
3 hooded sweatshirts
10 or so random long-sleeved shirts
4 sweaters
1 pair of tennis shoes
I still need to get him new socks and I'll probably buy about 10 pairs. I'm not buying new underwear because there's nothing wrong with his old ones and no one sees them anyway. I'm also not buying any new short sleeved t-shirts because the ones he's been wearing all summer look new still. I'll buy him one more pair of tennis shoes- with velcro instead of laces so he can do them himself. I still have to get a backpack too and if you buy one at Toys R Us for 12.99 or more you get a free lunch bag so I'm probably going there. I agree that you should label everything and even then you might lose things but it will help. I would skip the sandals because they aren't good for playing on the playground. A lot of schools will even specify that kids DON'T wear them. Good Luck! =]
