I’m frustrated. Thanks to a technological glitch, I wasn’t able to register my little one in preschool for this coming fall. Now I’m finding myself filled with anxiety over the whole thing: where will he go?
Registration took place on-line over the weekend, at 9 am sharp on Saturday, on a day when the offices of the regional district—which provides help with online troubles—are closed. Not sure I understand the logic on that one. Anyway, I dutifully logged on at 8:55 to make sure I could hit “submit” right at 9, only to find that something was wrong with my account and there was nothing I could do to fix it. So not only did I lose out on getting a spot, I also never even made it onto the waitlist.
I’m especially concerned because my littlest one is extremely shy, and as much as it might be a tough transition, I think he could really benefit that solid, structured preschool time. The environment would have been a familiar one, because his older brother goes to the same preschool now, and he’s come with me countless times to pick up his big bro.
Hopefully I can find something similar that isn’t already full. I just hate the race to get a spot whenever a good program is offered. Any advice on keeping it stress-free?
