[quote=Anonymous]DD5 attended full day preschool/daycare center for 3 plus years from 8am to 6pm before, and it was 2 teachers to 24 kids ratio at last. The current kindergarten class is 1 teacher to 25 kids. On back to school night, we were told that MCPS stresses more on academic at k, K class has 1st grade schedule, less play time element etc. I am not sure if I heard it right, but that was what I heard. I notice that they don't have much toys in the classroom, and we were told by teacher to let kids play more after school. They say it is the first year they try to do that. I notice that DD seems to be more tired & stressed at K, probably still overwhelmed with the new school/new kids/new schedule. She misses her daycare friends a lot, and they used to pretend play a lot with hair/stuff animals/princess/cooking etc. I don't want to bother homeroom teacher because it is just the start of school year and there are 25 kids for her to handle. How's your kindergartener doing so far? Is it true that they get rid of play element at K starting this year countywide?[/quote]
