[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone heard negative news about Country Day's Kindergarten program?  My 3-year-old son currently attends Preschool (Threes) at CDS and I just love the school.  We also did a Parent/Child class last year when he was 2 and 2 Summer Sessions (6 weeks total - filled with water play, outdoor play, and pony rides).  All were very positive experiences and helped greatly in transitioning him to preschool this year.  I was surprised when I heard from another CDS parent that several families (about 17) banded together and complained to the school that their Kindergarten program (unlike their Preschool program which is excellent!) was "not up to par" and did "not" prepare their children for (public) elementary school.  The school seems to be making changes and hired a lot of new teachers this year, so I'm wondering if there was any truth to this?  Does anyone know how CDS's curriculums compare to other schools?  I love how warm, caring, and nurturing CDS's environment, teachers, and staff are, which is important in the early years!  And I love how open and approachable the Head of the School and Director of Admissions are.  The Director's office is right next door to my son's classroom and is open (literally and figuratively) all the time.  Plus, the school is just so darn cute and charming with lots of trees and green scenary, 10 playgrounds, white picket fence, country school house with a big porch, and newly renovated cottage building.  The only issues we are aware of is with the busy carpool lines (which they have recently addressed with new thru traffic lanes and patterns).  I hope to keep my child at CDS as long as possible (through Fours or Kindergarten program), but I'm also exploring Little Langley for Jr. K and Kindergarten, or public school for Kindergarten.
