[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Horace Mann 3s was a playgroup with the parents sitting in the room, which I did not like.  In my kid's playgroup of 4, 2 could not even separate at all from the parents (young 2s, I am assuming), and I could see the parents sweating/stressed. My kid was older and was fine, but had to be redirected once because he had to show mommy something cool (LOL). The fourth kid didn't say a word and their parent kept miming and motioning to them (which I thought was ridiculous).  I am guessing for pre-K they probably have the parents outside the room.[/quote]

Kids who have been at daycare and/or preschool have a big advantage as they are used to the structure. I also felt awkward at the way some parents treated their toddler, as if we are competing in the National Dog show.

Haha, yes! I noticed that, too.  One parent was obnoxiously reading a book out loud in the waiting area and quizzing their kid on the plot. And then started quizzing my kid, too (who is naturally outgoing -- which is hard for me as an introvert -- and was just walking around checking out everything).  Soooo over the top.[/quote]
