I believe most daycares in this area offer after care and daycare when school is out of session. He would still be enrolled through that.
He is currently in a daycare in BR however. So if he does enroll in an LP pre-k then I would have to switch his daycare due to after school pickup issues. That's why I have been looking into this a year out.

There are some daycares that the state qualifies as a Pre-K. Most are not.

My oldest girl just finished K-4 but it was at a Catholic school. The baby starts K-3 next year.

I think we pay about $175 per month at St. Andrew's UMC. I've had all three of my kids there, and highly recommend the place.

That is more of a mothers day out type program.

Forgot about families where both parents work. Yep, that's only 9:00 to 1:30.

It's still a wonderful school. My children started Kindergarten already reading, and were well ahead of their classmates academically.

i sent mine to the same private school pre-k where she would attend thru 6th grade. never too early to start learning. plus, expense-wise, not much different than daycare, but the teachers are better.
you, being in BR, given the state of public schooling there, may want to consider getting a head start on whichever private school she will be attending.

My Daughters day care is state approved for pre-k 3 and pre-k 4. They also will do her before and after care next year while in kindergarten for $60/week.
Pre-k 3 and 4 both came out to $715 a month and summer camp was the same amount.
I couldn't imagine her starting school next year without what she has learned in her "school". Been there since she was 6 weeks old and they've done an excellent job.

Honestly, even if you could get your kid into public pre-k, I wouldn't recommend it. The reason they accept special-needs and poor kids first is because they are usually behind academically. The state curriculum is designed with that in mind. Your child will get a lot more out of a private pre-k, but won't be behind if you keep them in daycare. It seems like you're doing your job as a parent, and don't need a public pre-k teacher to do it for you. I am a public school teacher and both of my children went to a private pre-k. They were reading by the time they finished. Meanwhile, most of their Kindergarten classmates couldn't read at the end of the school year.

Agreed. My son went there for 3 years before K and I was very glad he did. Great school.

Its true they do take special needs kids first here in LP. But, they also take a certain number of "normal" or smarter kids regardless of income. They assign these kids to be a peer group or team leader to help some of the other children. This was how the school explained it to me.
I am raising my grand daughter whose mother was too young and lost her dad to a car wreck at 6 months old. I got her in pre k even though she was very smart and I made too much money. I think it turned her into a leader at school. She just finished the fifth grade last week. She was one of a handful to have all A`s honer role and gathered six different awards or so. She also won the dare essay award.
Anyway, I guess it cant hurt to apply.

This would be LP public schools. Not EBR but I would imagine the % of free/reduced lunch students would be similar.
It was nothing special. Little to no education. Just played all day,napped and ended up being a cheap daycare for us.
This is Live Oak BTW,.

There are plenty of "legit" prek programs out there that are 8-12 or 9-1.
Some mothers just need more "me time" than others.

Does you parish have a Gateway program? If so, get him tested and if he passes he will get in for free with advanced learning classes. The classes are also much smaller than normal.
