We have been invited to an open house for Pre K. Our 4yr old is already in a Montessori preschool that she loves and does well with.
My co-parent has adjusted our daughter's childcare 5 times in less than a year (usually for financial reasons, in my opinion stingily)
Most recently, my co took both kids out of childcare (our other kid is in 1st grade and was going to pre and post school care, prior) to watch them from home while also working full time, and two months later put them both back into childcare and has sent me a flyer for the Pre K open house.
It would be only 3 days/week for 2.5 hours in the morning. This would be extremely difficult to manage with work and to supplement with other childcare for the remainder of those days and the rest of the week (because most places require 3 days/week minimum and I would hate to switch her to yet another new facility).
If pre k is the best for our kid, I will of course figure it out, but I think she's getting a lot of the same benefits at her Montessori.
I agreed to give my co custody during mediation (we share 50% time), but they offer very little opportunity for collaboration - it's become very much "my way or the highway".
Is Pre K considered school which would make it my co's sole decision? Or is it technically childcare/preschool meaning I would have some decision-making rights, too?
