[quote=Anonymous]Geneva has some great aspects to it, it really does. My child has had awesome teachers and the playground is FANTASTIC. That being said, this year there have been many disappointing things for US (might not be a big deal to others):
1. Screen time. I personally think there should be NONE, but they show some videos in PreK and had them on a tablet of some kind. In summer camp, they watched tv/movies for 45 minutes every day and we were not told.

2. Lack of outdoor time. I thought they were going outside twice a day, no matter the weather, but even on days when it's been 45 degrees they have only gone out once.

3. More academic than I thought.  Lots of worksheets and handwriting stuff.

3. Closures. For 'inclement' weather, they follow MCPS no matter what. SO even if their parking lot is plowed, they just close if MCPS does. They also took longer than most preschools in the area to update quarantine guidelines. They were doing 14 day quarantines up until last week.

Again, I think it's still a great school. But I probably would have picked somewhere else if I had known this. [/quote]
