[quote=Anonymous]I echo the PPs assessment of the curriculum, and the teachers. We have had such a great year so far (PS) and are amazed on a regular basis by what our DC comes home learning about. Thus far, that has included a really fun unit on the Great Barrier Reef that he still talks about months later, Spanish and Chinese classes that have found their way into his everyday conversation and lots of great songs in music/drama/instrumental music. We're also glad to feel so included by the school in the learning - via classroom website, private blog for arts/specials learning, weekly newsletter, etc. etc.

I was bracing myself for drop-off/pick-off to be tough, and it just hasn't been. I typically do drop-off and my DH does pick-up. We both drive to work and have not had difficulty finding street parking near the school. And the location has been a huge asset in terms of making this easy on our schedule/quality of life. I am also curious as to where they will go when the 2 year lease is up.

While there isn't traditional green space, our DC really likes the playground they've made out back (tricycles, sand box, small climbing and play structures) for the littlest ones (PS & PK). The older kids go across the street to the playground. The main cool thing is the indoor sensory room - they play there in inclement weather and during aftercare and it is TERRIFIC.

Lots more to say, I'm sure, but the bottom line we're happy and watching closely on location because we're feeling like this is such a special place and community and we really want to stay a part of it. We were nervous about a 1st year school (and, yes, got shut out of all the more established charters in the lottery last year), but now can't believe our luck to have landed in a place that works so well for our child and our family.
