"Holy smokes!" President Obama Releases Full Pre-K Plan

[Heather MC]

18. Dang 7 years too late for my boys but my future grandkids rock on!

We paid 14,000 for my oldest to go to 2 years of preschool. And 6,000 for my second. my youngest was able to use head start because he was diagnosed with a developmental delay. however because his birthday is in August they wanted to put him in Kindergarten as soon as he turned 5. i didn't agree with that so i found a jr. kindergarten class to send him too til his next birthday and he started kindergarten at 6.

I am glad we were able to do that for both our children, they are doing extremely well in school now. my oldest was invited into the gifted program in 4th grade. And he made the counties honors orchestra, my youngest is no longer in the special needs program, and he is reading and doing great.

My hope is one day everyone has that opportunity for their children to give them all the tools they need to feel encouraged, and confident about learning. we are not rich no where near it. we decided our boys education from the beginning was worth is worth any sacrifice we have to make.

I understand not everyone can afford to do what we did. That's why i am happy our president is willing to make that investment in our babies that alot of families may want to make but can't afford to.
