Ellie and I decided to explore “Open Preschool” today. In Sweden, open preschool is pretty much like an open to the public play date. The one we attended is operated by one of the state churches. They have set hours that they open their doors to the public and let children come in and play. They also have some structured activities like music or dancing. But it is mainly a place for children and their parents to gather and have fun.
Ellie didn’t want to go at first but once she realized she wasn’t being dropped off, she agreed to give it a try. She had so much fun playing with the different toys there. Here favorite play toy was the airplane. She flew back and forth to Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Pittsburgh. We made a friend, Tommy, who had moved to Sweden 3 weeks ago from London. He was 2 ½. Most of the other children were under 18 months old since most older kids attend a structured preschool. It was nice for both Ellie and I to get out and be around other moms, dads and kids.
