[quote=Anonymous]At our DCPS pre-K, the teachers gently pointed out to the parents that small children can't just run around outside on the playground for hours. They get overtired, and they start to fight over play equipment. The kids did much better if they changed activities a lot, which they did. The kids did a lot of structured play: art, themed play ("pretend we are in a pet shop"), science in the garden. The kids had daily opportunities to write, if they could, so many learned. The DCPS preschool instructors, veterans with education degrees, seemed to understand small children better than the very young people teaching at a lot of the local private preschools. My fall birthday kid was in a private NAEYC preschool before DCPS, and I felt as if DCPS was a step up. I met several other parents who felt the same.[/quote]
