Is this something you pay weekly or monthly for? Personally, it seems like a lot of stuff considering it's such a short amount of time. My 3rd child will be in K5 this year and her list isn't as long as the one you posted. Personally, I would be asking some questions at the preschool your child is attending. If you are paying tuition PLUS supplying all of this I'd want to know where my money is going.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650137617186773906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654542627405528008.post-85129338099345524032008-07-29T22:09:00.000-07:002008-07-29T22:09:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405045085600864089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654542627405528008.post-70147424844177746002008-07-29T16:34:00.000-07:002008-07-29T16:34:00.000-07:00OK now I understand the shaving cream.

I guess it just seemed like a LOT of stuff for the little amount of time that they are there, especially after the fees.

This is also a "responsibility piece" for the kiddos, good training for years of school in the future.<BR/><BR/>As a mom of young children, you no doubt know that little ones go through bandages, Kleenex, wipes, etc. like there's no tomorrow... it's hard to keep up.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I understand the "sticker shock" you're feeling, but hope this bit of information is at least a little helpful.<BR/><BR/>~AmyMamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617155888103574865noreply@blogger.com
