If it was just me, I will be ok with sending her this fall, however my husband is not ok with it yet. He does not want to take any risk at all.. Tbh it was making me lose sleep. I will try to get him to at least agree to signing her up for some classes in the summer or fall. In the meanwhile, we will do frequent playdates with our neighbor's daughter who is the same age. Also, we will work more on her independence at home too.
You mention that your job is flexible/manageable but I hope your husband’s is equally so. Otherwise it sounds like you’ll be the primary one juggling a new baby, a bored under stimulated preschooler, and a job all because your husband is “not ok with” the minute risk of sending a 4 year old to preschool in the Fall of 2021 (when most adults will have been vaccinated).
Well I plan to be taking 5 to 6 months of maternity leave after giving birth and having my mom over in the early months as well, so I don't have any concerns about caring for both kids. Honestly, having to wake my DD up early and rushing her out the door to attend preschool while having a new baby sounds more chaotic to me. I technically won't have to return to work until April/May, so it does not makes sense to put her in preschool towards the end of the school year. So then we figured we would just wait til Sept.
Also, the preschool she was in is a full time program at my federal job 30 mins from home. I don't think she needs a full time program at this point but we would like for her to attend prek full time at the preschool because we really like the place. I don't want to put her in somewhere else part time now and then have to transition her back to her old school next year.
