I'm at a loss. My 2 yr old is about to turn 3 tomorrow. He is really excited about school and learning when I ask him about it. He's pretty smart for an almost 3 yr old. Super curious and loves to learn. I want to nurture that. There's only so much I can teach him. Plus he is an only child and my brothers never married or have kids so he doesn't have any other kids to socialize with other than random kids at the park.
My husband and I have been contacting schools in our area. One got back to us and its $1500 a month just for 3 days a week. Its $2000 a month for the full 5 days. Even if I got a job that paycheck would be just for the school. Then I would have to figure out childcare for the rest of the time when he is off school. How can anyone afford it? My husband already works between 12-16 hr days. We make just over the monthly maximum to receive any help from the state. We applied for the one school that had a scholarship, but we haven't heard back yet.
Are there any side hussles? Or programs that i can apply for? I've looked and haven't found anything. But i am also just extremely overwhelmed. I would seriously appreciate any advice. Also are there things I can do at home? Like a book or guide i can follow to make sure my son doesn't fall behind in the meantime?
