5 Thoughts Every Mom Has at Kindergarten Orientation

As you tour the school, you're thinking, "Are you sure this place is for kindergartners?"

My daughter's preschool felt so insular and intimate. The same teachers have been there for years, and the school felt small. When we visited her elementary school, it was welcoming and colorful also, but it felt so large! I couldn't fathom that the little child I once wore on my front and back could now exist in such a place. But still, when I look at her, that tiny child is not so tiny anymore. That little being is growing more powerful and independent by the minute. Kindergarten is a milestone, and each mom feels it: our kids are entering a brand-new independent phase. The cozy world of preschool is far behind.
