Starting Preschool: Where to start?!

In this episode of Nightclubs to Nightfeeds…one of us is officially entering a whole new era—preschool mom life 🥹—and we’re unpacking everything that comes with not having your child with you 24/7.

From the emotional (and slightly shocking) adjustment of getting that time back, to the very real decisions around TK, public vs. private school, and suddenly… waking up early again?!—we’re in it.

We get into the different school philosophies—play-based, Montessori, wilderness, academic—and even ask the question: is homeschooling on the table? Plus, the pressure of enrolling your toddler in activities before they even start school, and how much outside time really matters depending on the type of program.

We also talk about iPads in traditional classrooms, what actually happens when you start touring schools, and the moment that hits every parent: wait… I’m leaving my kid with someone I just met? 👀

And of course, we dive into body boundaries, trust, and letting go (just a little) as our kids take this next step.
