Hey folks my son will be starting at a Montessori preschool in the fall when he'll be 3yo. We have toured the school and I'm very happy with the environment and the quality. One thing that I have hard time accepting is the 8 hours schedule. Is that something normal for kids this age? We have managed to have him with family members until now but I understand it is time to expand his horizon and enter the school phase but I'm struggling with the thought that somehow as a parent I'm failing him because now he has to have an 8 hour "work day" because I have to have one. Sorry if I'm not making full sense. My brain and my emotions battle hard on this topic so it's hard to get straight thoughts.

I haven't seen a single one. Google says there could be some in Western Mass. Im curious if anyone has regular fireflies in their backyard type of thing
