[quote=Anonymous][quote=mcjd79][quote=Anonymous]We live across the street and DD is slated to start PK3 there in the fall. We met with the PK teachers, and have met the Principal on numerous occasions. The teachers are highly motivated and follow the Theory of the Mind philosophy in their teaching, and I am impressed with the principal and her philosophy. The scores for the school are basically equivalent to those in the "hot" Petworth school (Powell). Obviously I will know a lot more once school starts in the fall, but I am cautiously optimistic as of now.[/quote]

I am going to have to look that up. I know our little one would do best with lots of play based learning, songs, story times, hands on exploring and smaller class sizes. Do you know if they are highly focused K prep for 3s  or do they allow time for emotional, social, and whole child development??  [/quote]

PP you quoted. When we toured the school, there were 15 or 20 (can't remember which) kids per class with 2 teachers in each class, so a relatively small student to teacher ratio.  Theory of mind actually prioritizes emotional and social development, focusing on learning through rich pretend play, talking about other's thoughts/wants, and storytelling. It sounds like it would be a good fit for your child in that way.[/quote]
