[quote=Anonymous]I think the PP is using hyperbole in saying that this day care has "tons" of academic instruction and only 1 hr. of free play. I've seen daycares, including those that consider themselves "academies"... the academic instruction is like knowing sounds of letters, writing letters and sometimes words, counting to 30 and not much more. The fact that "free time" is scheduled from 4-5 pm does not mean that the kids are sitting at a desk the rest of the day. They have morning "academic" stuff, including 30 min. of playground time. They have lunch at 11:30. Nap from 12-2. They have snack, centers (like dress up or whatever) and 30 min. of outdoor time. then after bathroom break and re-grouping inside, they have 1 hour of "free" time while waiting for parents to come in. This is NOT a stressful schedule. I think the PP is a little too uptight about it. Kiddo will survive the "stress"![/quote]
