My boys...all THREE, attended the PIP classroom. (Parent Infant Program is an all signing Early Start preschool) Caden joined, because we weren't staying the whole time. And he did great! The teacher asked multiple times if we were registering him to also be apart of the program. (if you don't already know, caden has been tested as having a hearing loss as well. But further testing is happening on Monday. More on that later).
Here are a couple pictures from our first day. I won't lie....it was overwhelming. The kids are 18 months -2.9 years old. But they seems years older, because of the size difference and their abilities. The second time we went (yesterday), the twins did SO much better. They actually sat during circle time and seem a lot more comfortable. I think the key is a nap and food right before class. We will continue to go Tuesdays and Thursdays. I really think the interaction and exposure to typical developing kids will help them tremendously.
*notice how much smaller the boys look in these pics. The other kids did really well with them though. Xander, especially, was very interested in watching the other kids. I'm excited to see some growth in different areas.
