[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I work at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.  My children went to pre-K and K (state approved K program) at the Child Development Center on center and had a very full STEM education there.  They got to meet real astronauts, even the King of Sweden when he visited.  They had scientists that did liquid nitrogen experiments. And they went outside on the playground for a minimum of 2 30-min periods daily (usually 3, but occasionally only twice).

They moved to a good public preschool where they have a pretty normal schedule with morning classes including one short morning break (about 10 min), then recess and lunch, and a similar afternoon schedule with one short break.

My kids did fine and are doing well.  Yes, more outdoor activities would be nice.  So, what we did was we enrolled them in the aftercare program at their school and afterschool, they get somewhere between 30-90 minutes of outdoor play and activities after school.  It works fine and my kids are doing well.  They are now 4th graders and at the top of their class and they are pretty well adjusted and they love the school and their teachers.
