Jacob is a “Little Fish”!

Jacob started a pre-preschool last week. The “Little Fish” program is the child program of the Slippery Fish co-op preschool, targeting kids aged 12 – 18 months.

There are 6 little fishes in his group, and 3 parents work each shift and trade of bringing snacks, setting up an activity and story time. The little fishes meet twice a week for two hours.

Each parent must also take a roll in the co-op and I am taking on the VP role of the Little Fishes. I am also a board member of the Slippery Fish group (of which Jacob will be joining in a few months).

Last week Jacob made his first masterpiece! He had a finger painting activity and saturated the paper so much it’s a lovely wrinkled mess!

We are looking forward to see where this journey takes us. Right now Jacob is doing really well. He is several months older than the other kids, so he is very confident. He has also been going to Recess (the space where class is held) for over 3 months now, so he is very familiar with his surroundings. Lately he has been a little needy with me and jealous when I am holding another child. I know it is a phase and he will be just fine…he is a brave little soul.
