Playground a big deal?

Especially if they are in aftercare all afternoon 5 days a week.

Especially when you're forking over almost $500 in aftercare

Mundo verde should have thought of the playground issue before the purchased the space. Especially for a school going from PK3 on, a space for a playground should not be an afterthought and the issue with the parking code should not have been a surprise.

And for a green school you would think they work have plenty of green space.

Isn't it more green to use public spaces? To encourage consumption of mass transit, parks, things along those lines?

The expeditions the kids go on take them to Kenilworth Gardens, Pierce Mill in Rock Creek, all kinds of locations throughout DC. These resources are utilized as part of the urban campus.

And no, I don't have kids there- but did research on the school, the philosophy, and understand the pros/cons that have been discussed in this forum.

When you have to bus to get to green space doesn't that defeat the purpose?
