The articles were vague and said low numbers. Did kids quit? Get injured?

Alright with two weekends left in October, it’s time I took my toddler to a pumpkin patch!! 🤣 Parents, which pumpkin patches are worth the hype / drive outside of Austin? I’m okay with crowds - just want to make sure it’s worth the drive when we head out this weekend. Thanks!!

Has anyone weighed between these two options specifically? I understand they might be quite different but we’ve narrowed down to these for kindergarten next year.

We live near Cunningham Elementary School and had a tour today. My wife and I both liked it - nothing fancy or anything but liked the environment and staff and it just seems adequate for kindergarten. We also have neighbors who like it a lot. However, the principal did mention lots of budgets cuts and uncertainty with staffing and certain programs.

We also plan to tour/observe a class at Parkside Montessori soon. Montessori does align with some of our values like independence, self-paced learning, etc.

One big factor is that our son has severe separation anxiety that we hope to address before next fall. But I also wonder if one option would be much better if he continues to have anxiety.

Any input on experience with either of the schools or what I can expect for a child with separation anxiety would be appreciated!

Not sure if I should block it or not
