We found a program for the kid

If you’ve been following some of my previous posts, you know that a recent source of stress in our lives has been finding a program for the kid for the next school year. It seems like some good karma has come our way, and we found something that is a great fit.
My kid is only 2, so we’re trying to find something that doesn’t last all day, but gives him the chance to interact with other kids. We always go to the free story time at our local library (as well as visit the library at least once a week), so I was hoping for something for 2 other days.
We found a program at a local farm that is two mornings a week. The kids get to bake, hang out with the animals, and play. It’s also a parent-child program, so I get to moo with the cows too, which I haven’t done since I was a small child. How cool is that?
To top it all off, it’s affordable, and our money will be supporting an organic self-sustaining farm.
It’s still going to stretch our budget, though. I need to get serious about finding a good source of work-at-home income. But for tonight, I’m just going to be thankful that we found something!
If you’ve got young kids, what do you think of a program like this? I know that it’s not traditional, but our son loves to be outside and running around; I think it’s a great fit for us.

I think it sounds really neat. My son would love it.

It sounds great. I would recommend to bring the child to some music learning class or swimming pool maybe… but, it is time consuming…
I think it is a great program. I wish we had one here, where we live. Traditional ways of socializing, and teaching, are not necessarily always the best ways. Being creative, only helps your child to be creative.

WOW that sounds like a great program. How do you find out about something like that? My kids would love it.

Sounds like a nice, laid-back activity! At age 2, being outside and playing is what life is all about. Keep it simple!

Thanks for the comments everyone! My son does love the outdoors (and playing!) so it makes the most sense for us. We tried a gymnastics program, but he has a lot of energy, and didn’t do so well with the structure. When he gets a little older, we will try a music program.
Pamela - We found out about this program from a mom from the parent-child program we were in. The teacher that my son had last year will actually be an assistant for this program now, so it’s an added bonus, since we like her a lot. If you have a Waldorf school near you, you might want to give them a call and inquire about programs like this one. Good luck!
