[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter got into PK4 at Two Rivers 4th St. The school is along my commute, gets pretty stellar reviews for educational value, and I was reasonably impressed with the tour.

My main concern is the near total lack of outdoor exposure at TR4. She'd be moving from a quality daycare with a sizeable outdoor space - plants, sandbox, multiple playground areas - to a school with a single tiny playground that is completely metal and rubber and situated adjacent to a busy street. If she were a little older, I might feel differently, but at age 4 I can't shake the feeling that the daycare is a better setting even if it's not as education-oriented.

On the other hand, I don't want to miss out on the obvious long-term benefits of placing her in a high-performing school now, especially since our in-boundary school leaves a lot to be desired (including lack of outdoor space).

Any advice from folks who have little ones at TR4 and/or other folks who've faced a similar dilemma?[/quote]
