Increase your tax base scheme. It's called Preschool!

It takes me between 20-30 minutes to walk Aliza to preschool. It's another 20 minutes for her to let me go to work. It's another 30 minutes to work. In a few weeks we are sending her to a preschool in New Jersey. Paul works in NJ. He will now be responsible for dropping her off and picking her up. The cost for pre-school in NY is about $500/week. The cost in NJ is $200/week.

It's funny. NJ realizes that if they fund preschool more parents could go back to work. More people in the workforce equals more money NJ makes from income taxes and the more they make on sales taxes. So I'm not sure why New York hasn't figured out this money making scheme.

I'm a little nervous about school in NJ. I'm not going to be monitoring her progress. Aliza is not your average child. At 10 months she could poo on the potty. At 16 months knew all the letters. I started her at preschool at 18 months. Now she sings songs, paints, dances - but only goes potty at home or when she's alone with me.
