A Holistic Education - What is the best education to give to my children?
Once our kids reach the preschool time, we are faced with the multiple questions regarding what is the best for them.
Financial reasons are one of the main concerns and we all know that it can get expensive.
One thing I have found is that "Most Expensive"does not equal to "Excellent Education".
When finding out what is best for our children, we have to take into consideration:
1. Their personality.
2. Their abilities.
3. Their needs; and
4. what would suit THEM best.
If you are sending them to Public Schools and are not completely satisfied about the curriculum, try to look for groups of mothers in your area that share your concerns. Together you can come up with extracurricular activities to fill the gaps and perhaps give your kids what they may be missing without braking the bank.
If you are looking for private schools. Be careful, study the curriculum, send your kid for a visit to see if they like the environment... you don't want to get stuck with the bill and an unhappy child.
In my case, after a lot of research I opted for a Waldorf oriented school for my son. It is small and it has become a wonderful extended family for us. He has been able to blossom, grow, make friends, and create a magical and fantastic home away from home.
