We're in the midst of a similar transition right now. My daughter has been in a co-op preschool for about six months, but I'm planning to transition her to a regular preschool in the fall so I can go back to work. I think as long as it's a good place, you have no worries. My daughter *loves* preschool, and she has learned so much there. It sounds like you made the right decision for your family.

And as for this Grandma, I think this is such a good thing for all of you. Just think, you get at least two more hours a day with her driving there.

All the cool kids have wheels, you know. And it does sound like a great place for her. Having so many familiar faces there already has to be comforting to both of you. But no matter how ideal the circumstances are, there's just no escaping that mommy guilt, is there? *sigh* I can’t get over what a big girl she is with that awesome backpack!

We made a similar decision, and - hard as it was - it was ultimately the right decision. Hang in there. This is really hard - sort of a right of passage when it comes to parenting.
