After going over the day with the teacher, I decided I wanted to change to my 1st choice for Megan's day. Here in our district Kindy is only 1/2 day's so we were pushing to get her in both AM and PM.
So I decided since we only have the 1 on 1 1/2 day I would rather it be in the AM. So Meg will go in the AM fully included w/ a 1 on 1 with no pull outs. She will then stay for lunch to practice for 1st grade and then receive her Speech, OT and PT after lunch M-F. That way she goes from 9 to 1 and her day isn't as long and I still get my afternoons with her. That way she can still do dance class with Olivia too.
I was concerned mostly with safety. Meg would have been out on the playground with nobody watching just her and I worry that she may wonder or fall and get hurt trying to do what the other kids are doing and the last thing we want is daily runs to the nurse.
I know I could have fought for the 1 on 1 for the full day but I truly like the idea of just an extended 1/2 day for her. I don't want her getting tired and cranky and making the PM kids think she is always crabby. She will be on her "A" game in the AM since that is when she is happiest.
This was my ideal day for her and now we have it all squared away.
p.s. Meg was also approved for the Van, so she will get a car seat to go to school. We will do the bus next year when she is a little older and heavier.

Sounds like a great plan!! Are you itching for school to just START already?!
LOL. Everyday that it gets closer my stomach knots get worse. Are you ok now or are you confident with Kennedy there now? I am sure I am working myself up for nothing...I always do that.
Hadn't heard back from you so I checked your blog! So glad it is working out with Megan's placement -- sounds great!

I'm glad you've found a way that works for you and your family. That is always the hardest thing to do!
How is kindergarten going? :)
