We have to choose between two preschools and are torn. The first one my now 3 year old child has attended for the last year. We have liked it overall quite a bit. They have small classroom sizes, very nurturing staff, and a nice outdoor area with a playground, trees, and a large garden. My child has made several friends there. The drawbacks of this one is that it is very expensive and the schedule is not ideal (shorter hours, many closures throughout the year).

The 2nd preschool is about half the price and the hours are much better. It gets good reviews from people we’ve talked to. However, the classes are much bigger and there is not natural elements in the play area (no trees, no garden. There are nice play structure, a sandbox, a small grassy area, and a pool for the summer camp). It is also a little further from where we live. The second one is also more of a “traditional” curriculum and the first means more towards more Reggio inspired.

Which would you choose?

I broke my wrist about 22 years ago and had a titanium plate placed inside. I vaguely remember the surgeon saying I may need to have it out someday but I was young and dumb and didn’t think much about it until recently. I’m now 42 and it is starting to cause pain in my wrist, especially in the winter. I have an appointment to have it looked at, but I’m just curious if anyone has had hardware removed after this long? Doing some research I see that it can be problematic (or not possible) after this long.
