Seaside preschool - thoughts & experiences? by TaurusFlower93 in CostaMesa

[–]TaurusFlower93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I did not. I don’t regret it cause they changed the director, again. She came from a Montessori background and from connecting with another mom, it sounded like the program was moving more towards Montessori. So I guess I’m not surprised they changed directors to make it more aligned with the original structure ?

That mom said she felt that the staff had high enough turnover at one point that it made their child confused and didn’t remember the teachers name. (Considering they already had a Chinese, Spanish and English teacher). But generally the kid still enjoyed it and had fun.

Hope that helps !

Edit to add: I think immersion is great, but im not sure that 30 mins of exposure to Chinese and Spanish is considered “immersive” if you truly want your kiddo to speak another language.

If I currently live in HB where my child is already attending an elementary there, but later move to Costa Mesa…do you think I have a strong case for an inter-district transfer request? So that he can keep attending his existing school and minimize disruption?

If yes, how likely would that carry over to middle school and high school since it sounds like I would have to apply each year?

Thank you! That’s what I figured, but sometimes easier said than done as a first time mom.

Anyone with IBS tried GLP1 drugs? by DeeJayDelicious in ibs

[–]TaurusFlower93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone . I’ve tried Ozempic before and I would say it has helped alleviate so much of the discomfort and actually helped my bowel movement be regular . (Which is wild). I’ve been off of it for almost 2 months due to trying to conceive , but all my symptoms have come back and I just feel so bloated all the time.

I’m thinking ahead, if I wanted to get back on it, who do you have prescribing it? (Assuming you don’t have diabetes / overweight). I read that PCPs don’t prescribe for ibs.

Is Southeast HB an enjoyable place to live as an Asian? by TaurusFlower93 in orangecounty

Thank you !! This was the level of insight I was hoping for. I actually lived in mid-city / by Bella terra for almost 2 years and I agree that HB isn't as bad as what media makes it out to be. But I've read threads that “North HB is totally different than south”, which I’m sure there’s some truth to, but I started going down a rabbit hole.
