School for Natalie (and maybe Maria)

We decided to enroll Natalie in a great preschool here in Santiago. I love it. There are about 22 kids, ages 3-4. It's very local, only little Chilean kids...but one teacher speaks some English. They start each day with prayers and have a fairly structured week but a lot of play too. It's Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 12:30. We went there yesterday to check it out and both girls had fun playing outside and with the toys and listening to stories (not that either of them understood a word). Natalie officially starts this morning and Maria will go with her for the first week to help with the transition. In the meantime, we're looking for something more age appropriate for Maria. But honestly, if we can't find anything else, I wouldn't mind if Maria could stay at this preschool as a little "helper". She's already excited about reading to the little kids from one of their English books today. Maria calls it the "blah, blah school". When I asked her why, she said that all they say is "blah, blah, blah, blah"!! Let's see if after a couple months of school the girls hear more than that! Here they are during story time.
