[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] Ha whoa calm down.  The PP is right that non of the pre-phonics stuff matters at this age.  That should make you LESS stressed, not more since you don't have to worry about finding it.  [/quote]

Thanks for another "helpful" response - I regret ever putting anything in here about my lower priority thoughts - as stated, I am looking for a school with plenty of outdoor time and nurturing environment. I am not pushing academics onto a toddler. Unclear why that has been the focus of the two replies. I wanted feedback on three specific schools, not a refutation of something that is not even important to me that I added as an afterthought. [/quote]

I don't have anything to contribute re: feedback on those schools but I did want to say OP I agree that the responses you got above were super annoying! I don't see any issue with wanting a 3-4 year old learn their ABCs, numbers and maybe what 1+1 is. My 3 year old learned all the ABCs and what sound each letter makes in the past half year at his play based daycare and I assumed that was the norm...[/quote]

I don't think there is any preschool teaching 3 year olds that doesn't teach kids the ABCs through songs, etc.  That is not the same thing as looking for phonics.  [/quote]

+1. My three year old are not ready for phonics. They don't have the attention span or the desire to learn about the sounds letters make in a meaningful way. And that's OK because they are three. [/quote]
