We're going into French Immersion because she's going to bored the first couple years of school waiting for the LCD to catch up to her level. She goes to a great preschool currently and wished schooling like that was mandatory from the government so no one would be in this situation. There are lots of kids in our area (Surrey/Delta) that are being raised by grandparents until they're kindergarten and go into the public system without anything.

By going French Immersion (if we could do Mandarin, we would) she'll learn another language and will challenge her. Our plan is for her to be in until grade 7 and then go back to English high school. By that time, her English will have been caught up and she'll have a 2nd/3rd language.
