A Letter...

My heart pounds a letter from the primary school arrives. Did we get a place or have we missed out. My head spins. But I am releaved when I see there is the prep transition program inside. Wow my baby is going to start school. Although a milestone he is ready as are we. I wish I was going back to school. His new year is still based on play so no formal reading or writing, but instead school will foster a love for story and play. I did worry about this delayed reading and writing philosophy when I first encountered steiner education readings, but now having educated myself in the philosophy I feel very confident that it is a wonderful way to start a child's education.
