So I figured that I would search for a group of women in the Gainesville area that I can exchange stories and tips with, have some girls time (I am way over due for some girls time). Anyways, anyone know of any women social groups? Or anyone…

Hi everyone,

My family and I just moved to Newberry and I'm starting to look at preschools for the Fall. Our son will be 4 and going to VPK, but I'm a little confused. Do all preschools do VPK? And, any good ones out there that you can recommend?
