[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC attends Bethune and looooves going to school, especially Spanish class. She loves correcting my pronunciation too (she comes home and "teaches" me Spanish in the evenings). Her English teachers are wonderful too and very observant. The school benefits from small class sizes and 2 FT teachers in each room. I know 2 other families who miss this after switching to more coveted DCPS programs.

That said, aftercare at Bethune is a joke. The kids are all down in the library together, all ages. Also, the PTA seems active but I have yet to receive an email even though I have signed up a few times. This is partially my fault too. The parents I have met, however, are all really nice. From the flyers and fundraisers I've seen, the playground project definitely seems serious.[/quote]
OP here: thanks for sharing your experience! I spoke with the gentleman who runs the aftercare and he seemed earnest, but the program structure did seem vague. Maybe with the new playground, there will be more opportunities for athletics?

I was a bit surprised that MMBDA does not have a relationship with Dance Place. Aftercare dance classes seem like they would be a great option.

Thanks again-[/quote]
