[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The computer class is like 30 minutes a week.  I think it's great.  I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want their kid to become familiar with a computer early.

As for "games", that's how kids learn....[/quote]

Give me a break.  2 year olds do not need classes on the computer.  Actually I will go further.  They should not have classes on a computer.  Children need social interaction with people not screens.  OP, you can and should find a center for your child that is developmentally appropriate.  I hope you have luck in finding the right place.[/quote]
Ouch.  First off, I don't think that they even have the class fully implemented, when I toured the school last week there were like three computers in there (each room has about 10 kids).  Second off, its a great school, I was really impressed and I've been to a significant number of full day preschool in Arlington county.  The outdoor play area seemed kind of small, but they had a very large gym inside for the kids to play at, and it was really insane how the children really understood Spanish (the two year olds were talking in full sentences in Spanish, that's really crazy).  It was the only preschool I toured that had a phonics class, which seemed a little advanced, but other than that the curriculum seemed pretty academic (though much less play based than some other places).  The big thing is the bilingual curriculum, that's the only reason I think you would send your child there (you want them to be able to speak another language at a young age).[/quote]
