Neighborhood Preschool

I have been thinking a lot about preschool this year for Ethan and as I am sure is the case for most of you I don't have a ton of $ to spend on a program. I have heard that the head start through the district is more of a daycare than an actual learning environment. I do feel like I need the little bit of a break that having him in preschool would provide or else I would just teach him at home all on my own. So, here is what I am proposing. If we could get eight to ten moms of preschoolers together we could run our own preschool. We could rotate homes or maybe hold it in the basement. We could do it four days a week and have two moms at each session. That way each of us would have at least three days a week that our child was gone to preschool and we could get some things done around the house or spend some one on one time with our other children. We could get together and plan the curriculum out before school started, so that it wouldn't get too overwhelming during the school year. We could also each contribute some $ for art supplies and teaching tools, snacks etc. I don't have the details worked out I was just wanting to see if there was any interest before I got too far into planning. If you are interested or know anyone in wymount who would be interested have them email or call me. Thanks
