[quote=Anonymous]My kid is only in Pre-K, and we went straight to private, so I can’t fairly do a comparison. But, I can share what we see and experience—

The after-care program at my kid’s school offers art lessons, music/instrument lessons, and various sports lessons. There are also multiple sports teams at the school. My kid was too young for any of this in PreK, but he can start next year (I think). In the meantime, the regular aftercare program is fantastic.

Communication is excellent. We receive one email a week and everything we need to know is in there. There aren’t six other emails coming during by the week and we are well informed about everything.

There is no chaos. This was one of the biggest things for me. Every single thing is well organized and well managed. Whether it’s back to school night, holiday programming, or just a random Thursday. Everything runs smoothly.

Every kid is so incredibly well known not just by the teachers, but also the administration. They have the time, space, and resources to just focus on the kids.

The teachers seem really happy and have the resources they need/want. My kid comes home with the coolest projects, and I know the teachers didn’t have to go buy the materials themselves. The library is filled with incredible books and when I asked the librarian if she feels like she has what she needs, she told me “absolutely. If I need a book, the school buys it. No questions asked.”

It’s a big decision and the financial commitment is not insignificant; but it has been incredible and absolutely worth it. [/quote]
