Dylan Starts Preschool!

It is hard to believe Dylan is now a preschooler! The Newcastle School is an amazing preschool only minutes from our house. I downloaded a few pictures from their website in addition to my own pictures. So, I did not actually get on the roof for the first playground picture! I did want to include these pictures since I think the playground is one of their best selling points. In fact, Dylan has now nicknamed it the "tree house school." They also have a fantastic school curriculum and music program. Additionally, there are two school productions that are performed in a local theater a block from the school. I just wish we could stay the entire school year!














These first pictures of Dylan are on orientation day. The kids have a chance to check out the playground, play with the other kids and meet their teachers.



Of course, Dylan loves the water table. Only, I can't figure out why there are baby dolls in there. It's kind of creepy, but I guess the kids like them!



Ahoy Matey! The pirate ship is very cool!







Dylan was so good and followed instructions perfectly when he was told to line up and then walk inside to the classroom. The parents were then separated for an introduction video.



This is Dylan on the official first day of school. I wasn't able to get a picture in front of the school since this school has a drop-off and pick-up system designed to get all the kids quickly in and out of the school. The teachers and helpers just open the car door, unbuckle Dylan and away we go. They also place him back in the car at pick-up time. It is very convenient and it means I don't have to hassle with taking Austin in and out as well.
