[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: Thanks everyone for the posts. I'm hoping to get more since it's on my mind and making me nervous! My daughter is friendly and makes friends easily but she is nervous and I feel nervous for her. I'm sure I'm projecting because I was a shy child and I'm trying to recognize the change in her life without making her nervous. She just stopped daycare naps and is tired. She goes every day, even this summer, because I only work a few days a week but I didn't want to have to have her additionally deal with the full-time schedule in the fall. Also, I have a 1-year-old and she naps a lot so my older daughter would just be hanging out if not at school. I've heard from other Parents that the teachers at her Elementary School are very nice and they all seem to know them personally, so I hope that because I'll be home a couple of days a week when I take her in I'll meet the teachers somewhat. I also have to get ready for PTA and things. I don't intend to be a particuarly active PTA member, but I do plan to join and participate peripherally. The whole thing seems exhausting to me, I can't imagine what it is for a 5-year-old!!!!!

[b]I'll hold off on Girlscouts and look into American Heritage. Sunday School is more important to me and they'll do art projects and music (plus, it's Hebrew School so she'll also start to learn the Hebrew Alphabet) in addition to religion[/b]. I also think that her after-school program does activities and has clubs for sports if she wants that. She will be a walker, so no bus routine to get used to.[/quote]

I am not the PP who recommended American Heritage Girls, OP, but I thought you should know that it is a strongly Christian organization.
