My Son Wants to "Learn to Read"....

My 4.5 year old pays very close attention to commercials on tv - he is the target demographic let me tell you! The other day he saw something having to to with learning to read. He instantly said he wanted it so he could learn to read all his books. I love it!!! Of course I was in a different room and didn't see the commercial but I am assuming it was along the lines of Leapfrog or V-tech. My mother wants to get him this for Christmas, but I don't know which item would be best. Any ideas out there or personal experience? I have looked...

What Do You Do When You Need Daycare/ Preschool to Start 30 Minutes Earlier?

I am a teacher, and I am planning to go back to work in one year, when my son is almost 3. I have already enrolled him in a part time toddler Montessori school that offers a full day for kids the year they turn three. Early drop off is 7:30. The earliest early drop off I have found in other schools is 7:15. In the district I teach, high schools start at 7:20 am and K-8 schools start at 8:15. Since I am certified in 7-12, I could get assigned to either. Has anyone been in a situation where daycare or preschool didn't start early enough...

Need Opinion on V. Tech TV Learning System

O.K. Moms I need help. I have a four year old who loves TV and Video Games. I am wanting to get the V.Smile TV Learning System for him this Christmas. I have checked the internet and found a few articles saying the moms were very disappointed in this toy. I would like to know if any of you have this toy? If so what age is your child? Have you had any difficulties with it turning on/off? Would you recommend this toy? I really would hate to buy this and my son fall in love with a toy that didn't work. Thanks, S. T.
