Pre School

[my-thyme]

Can anyone recommend a church-based preschool in the California/Leonardtown area? We are not having any luck finding one.

TIA

Hollywood Methodist has always had a good reputation.

Do NOT go to River Song, and the one across from Wal-Mart ( Creative Beginnings) is very good, but very pricey. Honey Mc Callum is pretty good, too.

The older boy went to St Andrews preschool, but they arent open since covid.

So far, every one we've looked at is full.

Little fellow is 4, smart as a whip. Really needs some socialization with his age. We do Historic St Marys City preschool program every other week, but it takes him almost the entire hour to get comfortable.

Any suggestions?

We dont need daycare. Just a couple hrs a day, not even every day, to get him exposed to kids his age.

For your consideration ...

How about Sunday school? Now there's an idea. : )

Calvert Marine Museum would be doable. Thanks!

Yup, we do imaginarium. Little fellow just stays with his older brother and eyeballs all those kids.

Story time at the library?

Sounds like maybe you do need daycare. Get him out of his comfort zone for several hours, will get him used to adapting and making new friends before he becomes "the shy kid".

There's a church in Lexington Park that does a mothers morning out type thing. I can't remember the name of it, maybe sunbeam something? That might be something to look into if you don't find pre-k.

my-thyme, from what I understand all St Mary's public Pre-K's were switched to what is essentially income based - so I imagine almost all private/church based pre-k's are now full, and will be that much harder to find spots for. I know you're not looking for daycare, but it'll most likely be your only option until he's old enough for kindergarten Lots of daycares offer part-time prices. There's a few daycare facebook groups if you're interested, I can send you one. good luck

Thanks, lucky_bee, I know thats why we're having trouble finding something. For now we're just gonna keep doing what we do, Historic SMC, Calvert Marine Museum, the library. Maybe I can find a grandma and me group.

FB resources would be great!
